> I guess everybody seen some people get aggressive on alcohol I'm French and when I moved to Australia, I was surprised that people were violent under alcohol. 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/
