TLDR
The results of the review indicate that alcohol does indeed cause aggression, however, alcohol effects were moderated by certain methodological parameters.
Abstract
This review used quantitative and qualitative techniques to integrate the alcohol and aggression literature. The primary purpose of the review was to determine if a causal relation exists between alcohol and aggression. The main meta-analysis included 30 experimental studies that used between-subjects designs, male confederates, and male subjects who were social drinkers. Studies using other designs or subject populations were integrated with meta-analytic procedures when possible and summarized descriptively when not. The results of the review indicate that alcohol does indeed cause aggression. However, alcohol effects were moderated by certain methodological parameters.

Relation of threatened egotism to violence and aggression: The dark side of high self-esteem.

TL;DR: An interdisciplinary review of evidence about aggression, crime, and violence contradicted the view that low self-esteem is an important cause of violence, finding that violence appears to be most commonly a result of threatened egotism.

Self-Regulation Failure: An Overview

TL;DR: In this article, the major patterns of self-regulatory failure are reviewed and evidence supports a strength (limited resource) model for self-regulation and suggests that people often acquiesce in losing control.

Impulse and Self-Control From a Dual-Systems Perspective

TL;DR: A dual-systems perspective of impulse and self-control is outlined and a framework for the prediction of self- control outcomes is suggested that combines three elements that may enable a more precise prediction ofSelf-control outcomes than they do when studied in isolation.

Alcohol use and risky sexual behavior among college students and youth: Evaluating the evidence

TL;DR: Analysis of event characteristics showed that drinking was more strongly associated with decreased protective behaviors among younger individuals, on first intercourse experiences and for events that occurred on average longer ago, suggesting future efforts aimed at reducing alcohol use in potentially sexual situations may decrease some forms of risky sex, but are less likely to affect protective behaviors directly.

Statistical Methods for Meta-Analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a model for estimating the effect size from a series of experiments using a fixed effect model and a general linear model, and combine these two models to estimate the effect magnitude.
