More like hose them down with cold water.
Why are you wasting medical resources to dealing with drunks? Here in Finland occasional drunks and professional boozers belong to police unless they have injury which requires medical treatment.

Police wake them up and evaluate if they can be trusted to continue on their merry way without interference. If not they are loaded into police van and hauled into jail or 'sobering station' which ever is more appropriate.

In those cases where drunk person has injuries they are either treated on scene by ambulance staff or transported by police or ambulance into hospital A&E for treatment.

A&E is last resort option for those who really need their assistance, not adult nursery.
