>Reduced inhibition does not support the thesis of increased agression, unless you define aggression to refer to "aggression shown".

I mean overall increased opportunity for violence. Less inhibition might mean I'm more likely to say "fuck off" to someone rather than just think it. Which could lead somewhere.

I guess, but I'm curious what culture has no aggression at all.

It sounds like there's a suggestion that cultures where alcohol has no notable effect on overall violence. I'm curious what culture that is.

I don't hear about drunken street fights in the US either, probably because I don't consume the local media and street fights don't make it to the international news section.
