Regardless if we are mature adults or dumba$$ teenagers, we are all responsible for our reactions.
Mixing in booze or other favours is irrelevant.

I disagree the addition of alcohol or party favors is irrelevant. Anything that lessens cognitive ability to think rationally in a tense situation always always .... Always leads to shortened fuses.
I don't disagree that everyone is responsible for their actions in the end, but I've read alot in this thread from posters who think we are evolved enough to not give into our survival instincts. Which I do disagree with. I've made a lot of money babysitting drunk adults and teenagers, it's not so easy to just wash it all away under "we have rules, we are evolved not to fight anymore".
