I think that has to do with the fact that most young people are getting mixed messages.
"It is good to beat each other up playing a sport"
"Our country can attack anyone because we're powerful"
"It's okay to cheer people on in movies fighting, but dont YOU do it"
Alcohol loosens up your inhibitions and makes people who are socially encouraged to be violent, outwardly so. That is my take on it anyway.
Perhaps if people were raised responsibly drinking under a parents supervision at about 13 - 15, and taught to think independantly the problems might not exist?
