with basic human rights such as water, what does the human right act say?

A drunk detained by the police gets welfare checks every 30 minutes, which is recorded on the custody record.
When you've sobered up then you'll be fed and watered.
The Human Rights Act is not being violated.... trust me!!

All prisoners are given water if an officer is available unless their conduct is such that the officer decides that they will get it when they act sensibly and it is not likely to thrown or vomited.The police cells are not an hotel and room service is not a Human Right.The period of detention for a drunk and disorderly offender is not likely to be long enough to allow them to die of thirst but asking for anything they can think of is a popular pastime which elicits a negative response from the custody staff.

There is no such thing as an English Police force.
Its the British Police, and if you have a complaint take it up with the Police Complaints Commission.
You or who ever was being held for being "drunk and disorderly" will have to prove your accusations, though I doubt the accusation of a drunk will carry much weight in a court of law.
If you had of enjoyed your night out without getting p i s s e d up then you would not have any problems.

Not sure about England, but here in America, if it is a behavioral issue in the jail, we will turn off the water to a cell if they plug the toilet or flood the cell. We must give them access to say a cup of water when they request when the water is off.
It's a tough position for a jail to have choose between the right to water versus the safety issue of a flooded cell causing the prisoner to slip, fall and bounce his head off the concrete. Thanks to liability laws, we generally have to side with safety issues.

Who cares. The bum shouldn't have got into such a state that he/she had to be arrested.

They're not allowed to deprive a criminal of food and water. If they offer the food and the crim throws it, that is not the fault of the police.

PACE gives strict guidelines on how people held in custody must be treated. I think they can withold liquids until the person is sober in case they vomit and choke.
