Do what Lethbridge does and have the cops hanging outside the bars. You rarely see a fight outside a bar there, and if there is, it's broken up pretty quick and off you go to the drunk tank.

They must have changed the rules in the 'Bridge because when I lived there I beat the crap out of dozens of people outside many, many bars and they never stopped me.
Well, not quite, but I don't remember a lot of police presence. I was told by a cop once that they only had 4 patrol cars on at a time on some nights, and that's to cover the entire city. They did manage to nab me at least 3 times for drinking in public after the bars closed so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.
As to the Calgary thing -- they should actually enforce the fire code limits on people inside the building. We've all been in a bar where you are literally jammed up against people on all sides and it takes half an hour to get a drink. Like someone said above, that just gets annoying (and really hot, which makes it worse). I don't bother going to bars like that because it's not fun and bar owners should pay attention to me -- I guarantee I drink more than Al Cologne, who crowds the place up and mixes too much testosterone with his Smirnoff Ice.
