accor-ding to the man responsible for granting the city's first 24-hour liquor license.
From last weekend, the nation's drink laws changed in the biggest alcohol shake-up for more than a century.
And that led to fears that the streets could see fueding as hundreds of binge drinkers took advantage.
But Lancaster City Council licensing officer Andrew Bartlett says the weekend was no different to normal'.
"The Lounge was granted a 24-hour license on Friday and Saturday night but they closed at 3am and 4am. People were out over the weekend but there were not many problems to reports," Mr Bartlett told the Citizen this week.
"One member of staff in a pub received a fixed penalty notice for serving a drunk but the news spread all around the city in about 30 seconds," he says.
"I know that one girl was trying to get into a club but had no ID with her. So she went home and back in a taxi at a cost of about £15 to her so the staff were doing their job."
Police also reported a good weekend despite the changes in booze rules.
Acting Chief Insp Phil Coope says there was a good atmosphere' around the town centres of Lancaster and Morecambe and praises club-bers, licensees and takeaway owners alike for their actions.
He says: "There were no major policing issues at all at the weekend which was good news for everyone.
"The feedback we have had so far has been excellent and everyone involved deserves a great deal of credit. The licensees know they have added responsibility now under the new Licensing Act and they have taken it on well."
