I read the OP as a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the type of people that find themselves getting beaten up, not as real insights from some official. Indeed, in my experience, getting too drunk at some bar or club and acting like an obnoxious idiot stands a decent chance of landing you in a fight regardless of where you might be in the world.
