From an article i found today in the Scotsman dated 3rd August 1853:
"There is no drunkenness in the world so beastly and brutal than a Saturday night's drunkenness in Glasgow.
"...Groups of excited men were fighting here and there; scores were zig-zagging along in a state of tipsy exhilaration and..swinish beatitude."
Not much has changed in the last 157 years then! Plus, the newspapers are STILL moaning about it!!

Nice wee find. Nothing has changed. Must be genetic heritage. Or cultural heritage. Strong genes. Strong culture. Death sentence.
