MISBEHAVING drunks will be slapped with fines up to $1100 after the NSW government dramatically increased the penalties as part of its crackdown on alcohol fuelled violence.

The fine for swearing and offensive behaviour will rise from $150 to $500 from Monday.

People who continue to act disorderly after being moved on by police will attract a $1100 fine, up from $200.

The increased on-the-spot fines, which Labor and the Greens opposed, are part of NSW's package of drunken violence measures.

"The message to drunken thugs is clear: violent, offensive and anti-social behaviour simply won't be tolerated," Attorney-General Greg Smith said in a statement.

"Anyone ignoring that message should prepare to learn a very expensive lesson."
