Reveller on boozy Exeter stag wakes up over 120 miles from home

A RANDY reveller was rushed to hospital after binging on VIAGRA during a stag do.

Police logs show the mystery man was admitted into A&E with “heart palpitations” after mixing the blue pills with cocaine and booze.

It was one of dozens of bonkers stag and hen incidents dealt with by Devon and Cornwall Police in recent years.

In one particularly grim incident, a stag was sick on a train in North and West Devon. After a row unfolded between a male onlooker and a group of women, the angry bloke “scooped up the vomit” and started hurling it around the carriage.

However the firm that unearthed the figures insist they show stags and hens are rarely linked to serious crimes – while groups are often the victim.

“In almost two years, there have been around 80 incidents which equates to around one every ten days. Considering Torquay and Newquay attract thousands of stags and hens throughout the summer, they will likely account for a fraction of all the incidents that have troubled police,” said Matt Mavir, Managing Director of Last Night of Freedom.

The North East-based firm is Britain’s biggest stag and hen provider, having organised over 45,000 trips since launching in 1999. It obtained the data via a Freedom of Information request to the force, to dispel what Matt insists are “myths” about stags and hens.

“For years, groups have been unfairly vilified and when you break the data down, in many instances, it is often the stags and hens who are the victim of offences,” added the businessman.

Those instances included one instance back in May when a woman had explicit pictures of her – taken during a hen do to Plymouth – posted on social media.

In another instance, police logs show one group were allegedly “set on by the locals” during a stag do in South Devon last August.

Many of the reports were also linked to alleged covid breaches in Spring and Summer 2021, when Government rules still prohibited large gatherings.

According to Matt, that period was the industry’s “darkest hour”, with travel restrictions crippling the sector.

However this year has been the stag and hen industry’s busiest year ever, with the firm expecting to post record profits sparked partially by a domestic booking boom.

That surge has pushed Torquay ahead of Las Vegas in terms of popularity with stags - although not everyone is coming to the South Coast on purpose.

Force logs show that back in May, one unfortunate reveller “got so drunk” on a stag do that he boarded the wrong train – and woke up over 120 miles from home.

It is understood the unfortunate Bristol man had been on a stag do in Exeter. After calling it quits for the night, he stumbled back to catch the train back to Somerset – only to end up in Plymouth.

A Devon and Cornwall Police spokesperson confirmed the man safely returned home the following day.
