Lonan3 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 How long before this kind of 'event' spreads to the UK and other places? http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,13...2090429,00.html Spain is going on a bender tonight. But if you are not a teenager, you aren’t invited. More than half a million youths are expected to take part in the country’s biggest botellón, a national drinking binge, as cities from Málaga to Madrid and Barcelona to Bilbao try to outdo one another by staging the largest gathering. Word has spread by e-mail and text messages, and under-age drinkers are expected to crowd into city centres armed with bottles of Coca-Cola or other mixers generously spiked with alcohol for this mass outdoor “macro-botellón”. The event has caused alarm among city authorities, who are struggling to make arrangements to cater for the vast numbers expected to take part. Police leave has been cancelled amid fears that drunken youths will turn to violence. (Makes the Friday night Broadway gang seem even more pathetic, doesn't it?)
