It's embarrassing to see the state of some people, fighting, throwing up, young women making themselves vulnerable... Something has to be done rather than allowing the madness to continue.

I agree.

Personally I think it's because there's simply not much for people here to do. I noticed this when in America... You can go to the movies (it's so much cheaper), go roller skating, there's tons of youth centres with all kinds of activities, parks (again if only we had better weather here), malls, shopping centres... So much more.

I mean sure there are some parts of the UK where they have all of that. It would be interesting to see what the underage/of age results would be like compared to areas where there's literally nothing.

Kinda off topic, but I think the main age group responsible for this is the 18 - 25 year olds. Any older and you should know better IMO
