kidnap/extortion, no, it's sensible surely. If you get pissed and end up in the gutter being sick as a dog, and are picked up by the ambulance service, they take you to hospital, where you will be treated, found a trolley and likely sleep in off, or if so bad have your stomach pumped, cost to NHS big time. A separate unit dedicated to social revellers who go too far, fined 50 quid the morning after, are unlikely to get pissed again, or at least will have the nous to have the cash to get home, or someone who drives and doesn't drink. Having been in A&E i can testify to bad behaviour, and it's no fun seeing someone throw up whilst you are feeling incredibly unwell.
