Happens in the best of places. Berlin, which normally is pretty peaceful, looks like a war zone around new year. Just non stop explosions for days on end before and after new year. It kind of tapers off asymptotically as people run out of fireworks. Usually a few cars burn out, a few hundred people end up in hospital. Some people lose eyes, fingers, etc. The combination of people being drunk and having access to things that go boom in a loud and pretty way have some obvious consequences. A taxi driver drove around with a dash cam a few years ago and filmed 20 minutes of the madness. Amazing stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVOV9YrMFCs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVOV9YrMFCs
