Birmingham students show just how hard they party after getting A-level results

It is common to seek some kind of release after a stress-inducing event, like the 'A' levels for instance.

Students in Birmingham proved that they work hard but play even harder from these photos published on AcidCow.

Hundreds of them took to the streets to dance and drink the night away but many got overwhelmed by it all.

Some had to have friends carry them home and others were left lying by the side of the street completely inebriated.

Check out the photos in the gallery above.
