Is there a relationship between alcohol and violence?

This is for research methods but is there a person you know who becomes violent when they drink, or more violent when they drink? Feel free to elaborate if you wish.

Is there a relationship between alcohol and violence?
When a person becomes aggitated and prone to agression reason and cognitive processing comes into play that allows them to rationalize the situation and either find a situational reason for the distressing act of another or to help them work through their thought process and avoid the agressive behavior, in effect preventing the thinking through of the consequences of their actions.





Alcohol inhibits this "Higher order thinking" and prevents them from working through these processes that would relieve their aggression prone behavior. Couple that wtih released inhibitions and an ability to blame their actions on something else "I was drunk so it doesn't count.' You remove all sense, reason and accountability leading to aggressive behavior.
Reply:Oh yes. Take it from one who's been a victim. I've always witnessed many others who have had a bad relationship with alcohol and many who still do.
Reply:yeah my dad -_- the poison, as i call it, makes one do things they wish not 2 do, but sometimes they are truthful about things. And since my dad gets drunk almost every day... -_-
Reply:yes, i know a few like that. I think alcohol is just a good excuse to lower someone's guards (i.e. inhibitions and control) and let their inner-selves come out.
Reply:Absolutely! Go to the Dept of Justice, statistics and look for the amount of crimes committed when people drink. It's rare that people will fight when they are straight. Get a bit of liquor in them and watch what happens.
