Yep. It actually has a name in some cities. In Oshkosh we just call it the "drunken adventure". It helps to live in the state with the highest bars per capita, especially when you live in a city nationally recognized for its party school (I'm talking Madison here, not Oshkosh.)
In WI, while also taking our "drunken adventure", we sometimes like to play "Headbutt Catastrophe", where you headbutt anyone and everyone that gets in your way. No matter what the press says, this is the true cause of the Halloween, Rose Bowl, and St. Patty's day riots.
