A new ban on drinking in public places is set to be introduced and will see police issue on-the-spot fines and drug tests in a bid to see offences swiftly punished.
Drinking will be outlawed at various locations including war memorials and bus stops.
The law change is due to be enforced from Monday and will also see graffiti vandals marched back to the scene of their crime and forced to clean up their mess within 48 hours of being caught, the Sun reported.
Other minor offences to be punished include various littering misdeeds such as discarding chewing gum or cigarette ends.
Those caught will be ordered to join their fellow offenders and tasked with tidying up their communities.

Patrols will also be on the lookout for those who are disposing of nitrous oxide canisters on the ground.
The canisters have become an issue for many local communities in recent years and are classed as litter and a public safety concern, as inhaling the gas directly from the canister can cause the throat muscles to spasm and result in suffocation.
Regular, heavy use of the gas can also cause a deficiency in Vitamin B12 and subsequent nerve damage.
Tougher measures will also be handed out to those who engage in fly-tipping and further proposals are being considered in relation to confiscating benefits from families with children who play truant from school.

He said police require police additional powers to tackle disruptive behaviour, which he sees as a "gateway to more extreme crimes".
The new measures will align with his previous promise to ensure crimes are "quickly and visibly punished".
The powers will be extended beyond police forces, to mayors and town halls, in a bid to ensure authorities are well-equipped to tackle nuisance crimes that are negatively affecting communities.
Under the new measure, offenders will be hit with community service punishments just hours after their offences instead of going through the often lengthy court process.
Many have compared the measures to the Antisocial Behaviour Orders (ASBOs) introduced by former Prime Minister Tony Blair in 1998.
