During the summer months, it's fair to say most people are partial to having a few drinks outside with friends.

However, when a couple of drinks become a lot of drinks, you run the risk of overdoing it and ending up in court for being drunk and disorderly.

Here are six people who did exactly that:

James Watson, 32, of Turnstone Way in Bude, Cornwall: Watson was charged with disorderly behaviour while drunk at The Strand in Bude between July 23 - 24.

Watson appeared at Bodmin Magistrates' Court where he pleaded guilty and was conditionally discharged for 12 months as well as made to pay a surcharge to fund victim services of £22 and pay costs of £85 to the Crown Prosecution Service.
