In the UK there's certainly a perception (and probably also a statistical reality) that sudden, relatively unprovoked violence is increasingly more likely now than in past years. One of the first things international students were told at my school were which bars NEVER to venture into - an odd experience in a tiny, medieval tourist/university town. Agreed.

I thought Britain of all places could be counted on to keep serving a proper pint. Damn. ps: I'm betting these drunken a-holes will just find new and more bizarre ways to harm each other. You're right - the glass isn't the problem. Noooooooo! I thought Britain of all places could be counted on to keep serving a proper pint. Damn.
