Alcohol is drug like any other. I guess everybody seen some people get aggressive even on moderate alcohol high. Tobacco is probably the worst drug ever consumed by man, considering amount of death and suffering it causes... None of drugs are a blessing to mankind, but to consider A OK and even promote it, and destroy people's lives and promote drug cartels for B, where many times B is not more harmful then A is... stupid. And we as society want to evolve and get better, right?

The very broad generalization for me was that for some reason, anglosaxon people were violent under the effect of alcohol: Was it because boys were told that alcohol made them violent? According to the linked study, there is indeed a large difference of alcohol-related patterns per country. Hence, violence is partly cultural. Findings from survey research further suggest that alcohol’s contributing role may be at least partly attributable to the perpetrator’s drinking pattern and expectations about the effects of alcohol. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3170096/ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3170096/
