Beer And Aggression

[ferryman]

Can anyone explain please why the "speciality beers in a bottle" would make a person more aggressive than if they drink spirits or wine? Could it be the malt in the beer or some other ingredient? The beer could be 5.1% alcohol, the wine 12% and the spirit 40% but the beer makes someone more aggressive, does anyone know why it should be? As a rule and not mixed, 3 beers consumed or wine could be half a bottle, same as spirit yet beer brings out the aggression full on, a puzzle to me.

I know people who are the opposite, ferryman - they can drink as much real ale as they like, but a couple of measures of spirits has them picking fights with everyone.

Agree with you there boxy, I seldom drink Scotch nowadays, any other Spirit , no problem

alcohol leads to aggression and lots of alcohol leads to lots of aggression

I cant see that anyone could persuade a judge: it was the cherry flavoured beer that made me feel down his trousers [ to use a contemporary example ]

Not sure whether different drinks can make someone act more aggressive, but drinking in the sun definitely makes rowdy drunks even more rowdy.
