TL;DR: Although bivariate analyses confirmed the significance of most environmental predictors of aggression identified in previous research, multivariate analyses identified the following key visit-level predictors (controlling for bar-level relationships): rowdiness/permissive environment and people hanging around after closing predicted both frequency and severity of aggression.

TL;DR: The most notable explanatory factor for barroom aggression among young males in the study was an overriding general acceptance and even positive endorsement of aggression in bars, suggesting that greater attention needs to be paid to the cultural values that shape the attitudes and behaviour of some young men as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Effective policy and prevention for drinking in licensed premises requires a comprehensive approach that takes into account the entire drinking occasion, as well as the 'determined drunkenness' goal of some young people.

TL;DR: The most notable explanatory factor for barroom aggression among young males in the study was an overriding general acceptance and even positive endorsement of aggression in bars, suggesting that greater attention needs to be paid to the cultural values that shape the attitudes and behaviour of some young men as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Both drinking pattern and contextual factors are important in distinguishing between alcohol- related aggression and non-alcohol-related aggression, and alcohol intoxication may be an important predictor of aggression severity.
