Hundreds of students too drunk to stand flooded the streets of Birmingham and Liverpool last night as the latest Carnage event got underway.

Groups of girls clutching each other in a bid to stay upright, revellers in fancy dress and students dressed in ripped bright orange T-shirts partied into the early hours as part of the Animal Instinct 'Unleash the Beast' tour.

Many were left slumped against railings outside clubs as the night ended, while bouncers were forced to stop others from fighting.

Others - including this girl with an animal pattern on her face - were left semi-clothed on the pavement as they ended the night in high spirits

Some of the students in Liverpool were unable to keep themselves covered as they reached the end of the night out

Despite temperatures dropping to below 10 degrees, dozens of girls wore short skirts and dresses for the night out.

The event, which will stop at 36 towns and cities across Britain, took place in Huddersfield, Lincoln and Bristol earlier this week, with similar pictures emerging.

The Carnage UK events are run by Varsity Leisure Group, a multi-million-pound business that puts on hundreds of pub crawls throughout Britain.

Organisers have been criticised in the past for encouraging binge drinking and anti-social behaviour.

For many of the students in Liverpool, Sunday night would have been one of the first big nights out with their new university friends

The fancy dress event saw dozens of revellers step out with their faces painted like animals, including one girl who went for a zebra pattern

A description on the event's website reads: 'One event, one t-shirt, one fancy dress theme, 1000’s of students and the best clubs and bars in your city have all come together for one very special night.'

But founder Paul Bahia, a Birmingham University graduate, has denied this, insisting the events are 'heavily focused on group identity, social and ethical cohesion and fancy dress themes'.

Last year, a separate company known as Carnage Magaluf came under fire when an 18-year-old girl from Northern Ireland was filmed performing sex acts on 24 men in two minutes - to win a £4 cocktail called 'holiday'.

That company, which is run by brothers Danny and John Daly, was set up in 2012 and runs boat parties, 'celebrity' pool parties and bar crawls which take place three times a week along Punta Ballena, the main strip through Magaluf.

Others were left by themselves at the end of the night. Above, a male student is unable to stand (left) while a girl throws up in an alleyway on her way home (right)
