The 10 road signs, which also show a person crawling on their knees while clutching a glass in one hand, were erected in popular nightspot areas close to the city's bars and restaurants.

A drunken man carrying 1.1 kilos of explosives showed up at a police station in Saalfelden, Salzburg, on Tuesday night demanding to speak to officers and ‘spill the beans’.
The 25-year-old told startled cops he would "name names" and tell them where more of the explosive, an industrial product called "Gelatine-Donarit," was stashed if they revoked a small fine recently given to him for violation of an administrative regulation.
Following the man’s confession police and weapons experts raided the apartment of a 37-year-old man where they found 20 kilos of the explosive.

Clamper van got clamped and towed... priceless!
For many motorists, these pictures of a prolific wheel-clamping firm’s van being clamped for having no road tax will be regarded as poetic justice.
An employee of Southend-based LBS Enforcement, which has demanded substantial payment from hapless motorists across the region, got a taste of their own medicine.
Southend Council spotted the car and swooped. The vehicle was clamped, towed away and impounded.
As it happened, an LBS tow truck arrived on the scene...seemingly just too late to save its own vehicle.
