Young boys (because that is what they were) on their last night on land before heading off to sea for an extended time (perhaps forever). Of course they will get plastered. People of the sea are the same the world over ever since the dawn of seafaring.

i'm sure they were. but damn him now, i'm happy to let him sweat in prison for a few days, then get shipped onto another boat.
I run a hard boat, and expect my men to behave accordingly. Enjoying themselves is fine, but to the point of insubordination and arrest......there's no room on my boat for any such sailor. I won't have them.
