I think that everyone is afraid that drunk people, in the home, in cars, on bikes, wandering the streets, vandalizing things, picking fights, will kill them.

The ONS even produces stats on it.

It looks like we are soon due a new set of stats for 2016 to 2026, from that.
Was there really some bloody twerp who dismissively labelled it "a drunk man having fun"? I hope not.
How late at night was it? The introduction of the first paper above does cite some old papers, and there is other stuff elsewhere, that documents this as being particularly prevalent during night-time (a not unexpected result, I opine, to anyone who has encountered "pub chucking-out time").
