(Medical-NewsWire.com, June 28, 2015 ) Philadelphia, PA -- An alcohol-fueled brawl erupted at an Eastern Pennsylvania wedding and resulted in the arrest of seven people, one of the seven being the groom.

Upon police arrival, officers reportedly discovered close to a dozen people bleeding, many had been shirtless and intoxicated. The officers which first reported to the scene had been threatened by several wedding attendees, requiring officers to call for backup. According to reports about twelve police departments reported to the the scene and for officers had to be treated for minor injuries after being attacked by the wedding attendees.
The groom 31-year-old Nicholas Papoutsis, was one of the seven arrested and had been charged with disorderly conduct, public drunkenness, and interfering with administration of the police after allegedly attempting to fight the police.
Mandi Groh, the woman accused with instigating the fight had been arrested and her 14-year-old son had been treated at a local hospital.

According to the police, the bride was completely distraught and had been treated at the scene for dehydration, as well as alcohol poisoning.
An associate from Drug Rehab Philadelphia comments "This incident is a prime example of how alcohol causes people to make poor decisions. First and foremost, it's very disheartening to know that 14-year-old boy's blood alcohol levels were so high, it's a shame that his parents allowed him to consume alcoholic beverages in the first place. Secondly, it's insane that such a huge brawl took place at a wedding, this just goes to show alcohol can completely take control of you no matter what type of setting your in. It's obvious the persons involved in the brawl and the bride had way too much to drink. As adults, people need to know the difference between social drinking and abusing alcohol. What occurred at this wedding was absolutely a result of alcohol abuse. We should all learn from this to avoid getting drunk, it's important to know the legal limit as well as your own limit."
