In parts of the United Kingdom, the day has just referred to as Black Eye Friday, due to unusually high number of fights that break out in bars, pubs and clubs in the area.
Ambulance Trusts around the country plan and set up mobile "drunk tanks" in city centres to help lighten the load on hospitals and police cells.
