I went to college at Campaign Illinois and I didn't know any mean drunks there at all.
I had the exact opposite experience in college, where we had a campus pub. These guys fought over foosball, snooker, tables, cigarettes... You name it. I spent a moderate amount of time in the pub, but I knew to beat it once I heard some soused guy yell "ARE YOU &*%$#@& LOOKING AT ME?!" Else I might be hit by a flying chair. The bouncers (yes) constantly had their hands full.
There were more extreme consequences than just killing the atmosphere, too - One morning, the body of a 21 year old student was found in the ravine on campus grounds. They later revealed he was killed after a brawl in the pub over a snooker bet.

Must be something in the water... or beer
Oh great, there goes breakfast.............Beer & Liquor, never sicker
Beer & Wine, you'll be fine; Beer & Liquor, never sicker
I remember it as "Beer after wine is fine, wine after beer will cost you dear"
Having been a bartender off and on for 10 years, when I was younger, it's fair to say I've seen the best and the worst of some of the finest people I know. A good attorney friend of mine, (that is a good friend who happens to be an attorney), the rest I won't comment on... said to me one time, "Tequilla makes my clothes fall off"! She'd learned her lesson about passing the bar exam! The quote from her may not be original but it was the first time I'd heard it.
Over my years of experience I've developed a thought that if I were ever elected king of the world, 3 things would be mandatory:
1. Everyone should be required to have a high school diploma.
2. Everyone should be required to serve 6 months in the military.
3. Everyone should have to be a bartender for 6 months.
If you've ever tended bar, you know what I mean.
As for me having too much to drink... I get very friendly then it's time for bed. Wherever I am!
Amen. I tended bar part-time in a little neighborhood pub for six years. I wouldn't take a million dollars for the experience or take a million dollars to do it again.
Liquor then beer, in the clear, beer then liquor, sicker quicker.
^ I guess so...
Beer before liquor never sicker, Liquor before beer never fear.
I never knew there were so many ways to say it!
Depending on who you ask, they contradict too.
