There’s nothing wrong with enjoying a drink from time to time, but some people always take it too far.
After having a few too many, some individuals can get rowdy and start acting up, which can involve shouting, fighting, threatening behaviour, or something else that disrupts the order of things out in public.
Drinkers in Buckinghamshire are no exception, and over the past few months plenty have wound up in court and been convicted of being drunk and disorderly.
