Many moons ago in Glasgow incapable drunks were brought in to establishments where ropes were rigged across a large room and the men were draped over them, arms one side, bodies the other, kneeling on the floor. This kept them alive when they would otherwise choke if left lying prostrate.
There was a term, either a ‘thrupny (3d) or six Penny hing’ that they had to pay on departure in the morning for the pleasure of being kept alive.
