[QUOTE="nette, post: 3256259, member: 116852"] Yeah, it was usually the 18-35 crowd that I saw in Italy fighting, except at the soccer, then it could be anyone. The biggest difference that I saw drinking wise was the type of drinking places. Night clubs were all the same, but during the daytime was a big difference. Here in Aus, the pubs and clubs (usually run by the RSL and sporting groups) are open at 10ish and people come in, play the pokies (slot machines), sit down and have drinks, gamble watch the football etc, have lunch or play pool and darts etc. They may spend most of the day there, or carry on into the night. You don't see this in Italy. Pubs and clubs as we know them are practically non-existent, you go to a coffee bar and order at the counter then either drink at the counter or a small bench with maybe a bite to eat then head off. There was nowhere really that you can sit all day watching the races, sport, or play the pokies while which is probably the reason less of the older people brawl than you might see here or the UK. It was at night time with the young people, at the bars and nightclubs where the fighting happened. [/QUOTE]
