Why do people want to fight

when they are wearing their beer coats ??

I was in Wrights last night and this girls is falling about on her rubber legs after too many scoops.

When I put my hand out to stop her from banging into another girl she gets all arsey and starts squaring up.

Thankfully the guy I was with was built like a barn door so it wasn't a problem, but why do people do this ?

Do they think they have super-powers or something ? What makes people so nasty after alcohol ? I shall never understand it.

It's one day and night to stay and one day and night to be ashamed to be irish when you see the behaviour of some of our fellow citizens.

Fighting isn't such a bad thing at all. It's a primitive and instinctual thing, it's natural.

Long ago there was a respectable Irish culture of fistfighting. My dad got into a few fights. They weren't ever trying to knock someone's teeth out or hurt them badly, god no, just slugging it out to see who bait who. Now you have knives, you would NEVER have knives back then.

We're competetive by nature. Sure hurling and soccer are good competetive sports, but you'd be a fool to think they were somehow more refined or "better" than a pure fight. Apes fight all the time, just for fun. They can also pick up stones and try to bash each other over the head with them, but they extremely rarely do that in their own group.

And it's probably the trying to suppress and disallow that instinctive flame of fighting that causes a lot of these deadly and completely stupid "fights" in the end. People want to let it out somehow. The closest thing we probably have that's widespread is boxing clubs. I'd actually be interested in joining a boxing or karate club, some sort of fighting club.

So I think fighting itself isn't such a bad thing, it's only when alcohol etc. is involved that it gets so terrible and disgusting and frightening.

well nicegirls if you want to join a club try judo thats great for keeping fit and self defence i done a black belt in judo fuck nearly 20 years ago but it was great sport boxing and karate wasent my cup of tea althought i have done karate i found judo more good if you were in trouble thank god i never had too much trouble as i always like to avoid those situations

sometimes its just to much drink causes all this annoyance on a nite out... but i hate it when you`ve had a great night out and someone decides they are superhuman and all the rest of the world around them are the baddies and they feel they need to put the world to rights... though their beer heads are to full of fluid instead of sense and they just wont go home... spoils nights out for us normal folk..xxxx

There are too kinds of people: those who get sleepy when they drink too much, and those who get aggressive. I am fortunate enough to be the sleepy kind. I still try to avoid getting drunk, though, because it's just not worth the feeling you get the next morning.

I notice it here too St.Paddy Day is a day to stay indoors away from the agro.

I also have the West Cork Rally that weekend and its worst. Some of the crowd it attracts do cause problems in the pubs and outside especially with the cars. Nearly every junction has a Donut scorch mark and beside the fact I am either locked in or out of my home. So WCR weekend is a weekend I pack up and leave here.

It's not just Ireland Taylor, you've got some real social problems in the UK too which are alcohol related.
I'm sick of listening to all this nonsense about Irish people being sooooooooooo friendly & our guests loving the craic with us. It's all superficial though, we'd talk the hind legs off ya' about politics, religion, sport, weather etc. Scratch the surface though & there's an unpleasant underbelly, which is what you see when the effects of the drink get rid of the veils & inhibitions.
Personally I'm a happy drunk with a stupid grin but have a few stays in hospitals to my name from hidings I took from drunken gangs in my youth.
We are such a compliant race of people (as witnessed by our lack of anger at our governers, Lisbon 2 etc) & passive sorts can become agressive when you remove the inhibitions. Couple all that with the tacit acceptance of alcohol abuse & cultural place it has, recession, unemployment, that bearded bastard Johnny Ronan shagging those 2 bimbos & you get a lot of ticking timebombs.

The entire drink culture which has built up around paddys day is not doing our country and the image thereof any good. I just stay in now as not worth hassle of going to over busy over priced pubs rant over lol

I'm not saying we don't have our problems in the UK, I don't go out into a club or pub anymore at home for that reason.

Viz have a T-shirt 'a pint and a fight for a great night out' - Westie will probably correct me but that is about the gist of it.

I have a son who, in the wrong place at the wrong time got a serious kicking for his gloves (WTF!!). The plod couldn't do anything, because by the time they got to the indentity process the gap had been too long and he couldn't give them a definate.

He works in a pub and even though its a five minute walk home and in a 'good' area he will get a taxi after his shift.

I don't drink much anymore as I've been at the blunt end of someone that did, and whilst the trip to Wrights was a spur of the moment decision its, the first time I've come across someone so aggressive over here.
