BELFAST City Council seized 3,500 'alcohol units' in the mainly student Holylands area over the St Patrick's holiday, it has emerged.
Twelve people were reported for prosecution over on-street drinking, 32 attended an alcohol recovery centre and six were seen by a mobile doctor.
Council staff visited 77 properties and 26 were highlighted to higher education institutions.
Three warning notices and 22 verbal warnings were issued over noise.
The 3,500 units of alcohol is the equivalent of almost 1,800 cans of beer.
Belfast City Council's newly-released figures cover the three-day period from March 15 to St Patrick Day, when university students had no classes.
It follows a significant policing operation in the Holylands as drink-fuelled crowds gathered for St Patrick's Day.
Fifteen arrests were made in the Holylands and city centre over the holiday for a range of public order offences.
Permanent residents have for years highlighted problems of anti-social behaviour and called for greater action against unruly students.
Concerns were heightened last year after bottles were thrown at police during disturbances and an officer was injured.
The was also alarm after intoxicated girls as young as 13 were said to have been among the revellers in the area over the holiday period.
Alliance councillor Emmet McDonough-Brown welcomed efforts to tackle problems in the Holylands but said more work is needed.
"This year was better than last. I think we need to build on the progress that has been made and not be complacent about the challenges," he said.
"My view has always been that the Holylands is fixable. We need to continue to make progress and ensure we are turning a corner in the Holylands.
"We will be doing that over the coming months. Planning for freshers' starts now."
Last month The Irish News revealed the scale of binge-drinking and anti-social behaviour in the Holylands.
More than 30,000 alcohol units were seized by council officials in three years – the equivalent of around 15,000 cans of beer.
And more than 1,800 complaints of anti-social behaviour were made including drunkenness and verbal abuse.
University students faced disciplinary action more than 1,400 times over the three years for anti-social behaviour in the Holylands, although none were expelled.
