One really easy wat to reduce the After bar violence is to simply let the bars stay open later. Lots of times these things happen rigth at close. Why? because that's what happens when you kick a couple hundred drunk people onto the street at the same time. Some are p*ssed cause they got kicked out. Some are p*ssed casue they didn't hook up, and some are just ***holes.
If you let the bars stay open as late as they wanted you'd hav people wandering out on their own time and it would probably aleviate some of the fights. Just a thought, it won't solve the problem, but I think it would help. Also, it'd be nice to be able to stay out past 2:00 every once in a while.

Be VERY careful on this one...
Now I know it is Vancouver, but all of the bars there (relatively recently - I think maybe a couple of years) are open a lot later, like you are proposing.
However, it has not had the effect that you have predicted. Instead, trouble has gone up a lot; cops are complaining and are really really wanting the times rolled back.
I think a lot has to do with it with the bars staying open a lot later, it gives people a lot more time to drink, which gives them a lot more time to get "drunker", which gives them...
