People in Lichfield and Burntwood are being asked to think twice before overdoing the festive celebrations.
West Midlands Ambulance Service says it is preparing itself for another spike in the number of alcohol-related calls it receives.
But they are urging drinkers not to take crews away from people who need emergency treatment.
West Midlands Ambulance Service’s general manager Nathan Hudson said: “Drinking causes people to do things they definitely wouldn’t do if they were more sober. The knock-on effect of this is that our highly-trained medical staff are having to babysit fully grown adults who don’t know when they have had enough alcohol.
“These staff should be available to treat people who have suffered a life threatening emergencies.
“While we do not wish to spoil people’s fun, we would just ask people to be sensible and take responsibility for themselves and their own actions when they are out celebrating this year.
“What if an ambulance crew that was dealing with you vomiting on yourself lying in the street, wasn’t then available to treat your family member who needed lifesaving treatment? We are quite sure you would be devastated that your irresponsible actions have directly had a negative impact on your loved ones chance of survival – your Christmas probably wouldn’t be quite so merry.”
