It was Britain's booziest night of the year when workers let their hair down for Christmas parties across the country.

But while most revellers enjoyed the busiest night of the party season so far, it all got too much for some partygoers on an evening that has been dubbed 'Mad Friday'.

Police forces brought in extra officers to cope with demand and hospitals were on high alert as Britons put their health and safety at risk by opting for one drink too many.

Drinkers were asked to leave En Vogue in Bradshawgate, Bolton, when the fire began at 10.40pm last night.

Fire crews from Bolton tackled the flames, which stated when the bar’s signboard set alight.

The Catholic tradition of Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve is under threat in Britain due to interruptions from drunken intruders.

According to a survey for Catholic magazine The Tablet, 50 deaneries – local groups of parishes – have had to scale back, move or cancel the Christmas Eve celebrations altogether due to disruptions. Some have even had to employ bouncers to guard the Church entrance to keep out drunken revellers.

Monsignor David Hogan of St Bernadette’s parish in Nunthorpe, northern England, said that less than a quarter of parishes in the area now hold the service. “Last time we had it, we ended up with a drunk trying to get the doors off the church,” he said.

Britain’s bars and clubs were heaving on Friday night as hundreds of thousands of revellers ventured into towns and cities ahead of Christmas.

Police forces drafted in extra officers on so-called “Mad Friday”, which has become one of the busiest nights of the year, to deal with the effects of excessive drinking.

The London Ambulance service received almost 6,000 calls during the evening, many of which, it said, were for "patients who had too much to drink."

I’ll never forget the picture of the beautiful young lady in a micro-miniskirt, drunk off her azz, passed out in the snow on a street in Birmingham.

Reminds me of a Friday night in New Castle 35 years ago when I did a short stint there for ICI.
