Midnight on St Mary Street in Cardiff and everything is exactly as expected. Half a dozen young women slump in a gutter, men urinate outside a health-food shop and, as hordes stagger between nightclubs, someone lifts up a blow-up doll with a sex toy protruding out of it.
The street smells of urine and lager, police struggle to break up a fight outside the Walkabout bar and a paramedic bundles a comatose girl on to a wheelchair. But it's a quiet night for 20-year-old Naomi Jenkins. She has 'only' drunk three shots of peach schnapps, cider and three shots of Jagermeister (during a drinking game called I Have Never) and still feels 'a bit sober'. Her friend Hannah Freeman, 19, was punched in a fight and stumbles about swearing and searching for a bathroom.
'We only do embarrassing things when we're really drunk,' Naomi says. 'I kiss random men in the street and Hannah has had sex behind a chicken coop.' She screams with laughter as Hannah lurches unsteadily in the stairwell of Charleston Bar and Grill on Caroline Street (known locally as Chip Alley) and unashamedly urinates in front of us.

Probably guys are treating them to the drinks. That’s how it worked in my day (although I’m not comparing myself to these kids). I’m probably wrong about this (Great Britain being a stingy kinda place) but maybe the pubs offer the women discounted drinks to lure in the lager louts.
Nothing is cheap in the UK.
I dont think there is a singular cause of what ails the UK. Well, wait, let me rephrase that there is leftism. There are so many different variables at work here. The rampant promiscuity young women feel expected to engage in, the complete lack of striving for anything, the disappearance of the family structure and the spiritual vacuum all come to mind.
Last time I read reports, there was precious little, frightening little marriage going on in Japan, is that still the case?
But we don't want the Irish!
Brits long for the days of cheap gin again. Socialism and the cultural revolution are providing the poverty of the good ol’ days, and the people need their booze. It’s an old story that is repeating itself.
What was a duck doing in your underwear?
I'm not even gonna ask how a duck got in your underwear, but weren't you concerned about a ricochet?
I am not sure that Christianity has the chops to recover this anymore. Wish it did.
Because Socialism offers them no way up and no way out.
Yeah but alcohol ain’t a drug(according to the WOD advocates here )
The British have always been big boozers - although they generally cite the Irish as drunks, lol.
I’ve been going to London for years. We stay in the West End. For at least 20 years now (before Amy was born?!) we’ve been stepping over drunken kids on a Saturday night. It’s just what they do.
The muslims will fix this ...Yup.
Moral depravity, political correctness and open immigration will have these people all locked up in cages run by Taliban-like guards eventually.
What a hangover THAT will be.
Beat me to it.
>> You have money and get to party all night long.
All that, plus you die at, like, nineteen years of age... minimal burden on that overextended NHS.
This is just about the saddest article that I have read in many a year.
The women libbers must be so proud of what they have accomplished.
I think your post is very accurate. This is absolutely nothing new to the Brits.
