2) People who 'over-indulge' and puke everywhere! Not good when everyone's packed like sardines and can't escape the flight-path!

3) People who 'over-indulge' and get aggressive or over-exuberant and try to push and punch their way forward through the crowd!

I think perhaps partitioning the crowd into specific pens that can hold maybe 1000-2000 people would be good. It would allow people free access to nearby gangways between pens and better distribution of cups of water and emergency access by ground-staff and stewards.
and you don't get idiots spending 3 quid on a pint then deciding to throw it all over the crowd. saying that, most big venues only sell carling down here now so i doubt id care if they stopped servign drink.
