Whats in whiskey that causes violent behaviour?!
It's all in the image that has been portrayed through advertising and word of mouth. I mean everything you see and hear about whiskey just screams "tough guy". And people will ask if you're man enough to drink it, etc, etc.
Therefore people with a certain attitude and predisposition to violence tend to choose whiskey as their drink of choice, because their subconcious tells them it's a tough guy thing, and they use the fact that they can drink it to feed their ego.
Answers: The fact that whiskey is stereotyped to cause bad behavior is, in fact, what causes the violent behavior.

alcohol. The only other component to the violent behavior is the environment.
Drinking alcohol either calms (such as a depressant) or causes them to become belligerent.
Look what happened to this man when he drank whiskey:
SMYRNA, TN—A well-known brand of alcohol proved worthy of its name Sunday as a bottle of Southern Comfort comforted Southerner Melvin Shifflett, providing him with a warm sense of well-being as he retreated into the soothing glow of intoxication. "I am definitely comforted right now," the 34-year-old Shifflett said. "The high alcohol content of this whiskey, not to mention its pleasant cherry flavor, has made me forget all about the pain of my recent divorce and mounting credit-card debt."
ya all that 40% or more of alcohol haha
The high alchohol content. If i am not mistaken, whiskey has about a 15% alchohol content. That is between 7 and 8 times more than beer. Which means you get drunk and violent 7 to 8 times faster.
The tough guy drinking it.
Nothing same as any other hard liquor, It's just the idiot drinking it....
Whiskey, like all alcohols, suppress higher brain functions.
Once these safeguards are released, the true personality comes out
Nothing. There is absolutely nothing in whisk(e)y that causes any different reactions than any other spirit. I've posted this numerous times but ETHYL ALCOHOL IS ETHYL ALCOHOL no matter how you consume it. That is the ONLY ingredient that causes secondary effects. If you remove the ethyl alcohol and drink the other ingredients NOTHING WILL HAPPEN! They are inert!
If you are violent after drinking whisk(e)y it's because you have a preconceived idea of what should happen. Don't blame the brown liquors.
The only thing that causes violent behavior in whiskey is anti-moderation. You have to drink three or four bottles in a short time and you are as peaceful as a corpse. Any more silly questions?
