“…Nightclubs and binge drinking parties are spaces for flirting, hooking‐up, and making the atmosphere erotically loaded . This can create a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere , but it also creates a scene for jealousy and performances of masculinity that trigger violence. Fredrik (M, 23) told how drinking implied that: The primal instincts come out.…”
The association between alcohol and violence can be understood by more closely examining the cultural and situational context where the events occur. This link is not primarily related to the psychopharmacological properties of alcohol, but rather it is associated with situational factors and cultural norms regarding how to behave while intoxicated. Strategies aiming at reducing violence in nightlife should take such factors into consideration. [Pedersen W, Copes H, Sandberg S. Alcohol and violence in nightlife and party settings: A qualitative study. Drug Alcohol Rev 2016;35:557-563].

“…While esthetics and bodily control were important dimensions in limits between acceptable and unacceptable drunkenness for women, men were evaluated based upon how harmful or frightening to others their drunken behavior was considered. This could be related to the traditional intoxicated drinking culture, and could imply that in some contexts men's drunkenness is sanctioned more; as showed in a Norwegian study where women were overserved more often than men, because they, in contrast to intoxicated men, were not expected to cause trouble when drunk (Buvik & Baklien, 2016). However, it also highlights how social norms and sanctions that regulate drunken comportment may function to reduce harm from alcohol use, by preparing the ground for setting limits in social networks and promoting more moderate forms of alcohol consumption.…”
Background: What people define as acceptable alcohol use may differ between social situations and depend upon on who is drinking as well as who is evaluating the situation. Objective: The aim of the study was to explore how Norwegian and Finnish youth and adults perceived the acceptability of situations involving public intoxication and how gender and alcohol's harm to others were made relevant in their reflections. Methods: We conducted eight focus groups among adolescents (N ¼ 44) and eight among adults (N ¼ 38), using photos and stories of drinking situations as stimuli for the discussions. Results: Youths' and adults' perceptions of public intoxication were characterized by ambivalence: negative evaluations were often nuanced and negotiated while positive evaluations typically were followed up with reservations. To some extent, their evaluations depended upon the gender and age of the drinker. Although a norm of gender equality was emphasized, women were typically criticized for their looks and for foolish behavior when drunk, while drunk men were often perceived as frightening. Age was a prominent dimension in evaluations of the acceptability of women's alcohol use, while it was seldom mentioned when discussing intoxicated men. Youths seemed to have somewhat more restrictive attitudes towards public intoxication than adults, reflecting perhaps how they related to the situations with more general conceptions of drinking and harms from drinking, picked up from public debate or from school. Conclusion: Perceptions of alcohol's harm to others were clearly gendered, in that intoxicated men were seen as frightening while women were seen as foolish.
“…Dette er et kønnet aspekt af bevaertningslivet, som vi generelt ikke finder beskrevet af de unge, når de fortaeller om deres oplevelse af at gå ud i København, men som til gengaeld kan genfindes i internationale undersøgelser af rurale drikkekulturer (for eksempel Leyshon, 2005). Så, selvom også danske og nordiske forskere helt overordnet anskuer alkoholbrug som en kønnet praksis (Demant & Törrönen, 2011), selvom det ikke er en ny observation, at maend og kvinders alkoholforbrug divergerer (Eriksen, 2015), og selvom også storbyens klub-og barmuligheder er praeget af nogle saerlige køns-og seksualitetsnormer (Buvik & Baklien, 2016;Tan, 2014), så får det alkoholrelaterede kønslandskab tilsy-neladende et saerligt udtryk for unge i de danske landområder. Dette vil vi forsøge at anskueliggøre i det følgende.…”
Herold, Maria Dich; Hunt, Geoffrey (2018). 'Alkoholbrug, tilhør og køn blandt unge voksne i danske landområder' i Tidsskrift for Forskning i Sygdom og Samfund, nr. 28,[113][114][115][116][117][118][119][120][121][122][123][124][125][126][127][128][129][130][131][132] Med udgangspunkt i 140 kvalitative dybdeinterviews belyser artiklen, hvordan alkoholrelaterede praksisser udspiller sig blandt unge i de danske landområder, samt hvorledes de unges alkoholbrug kan anskues i sammenhaeng med forestillinger om køn og oplevelser af tilhørsforhold til lokalområdet. Således anskueliggøres det, hvordan 'sted' og 'køn', forstået som identitetsnaere sociale kategorier, glider sammen og bliver medkonstituerende for de unges måder at bruge alkohol på, -og omvendt hvordan nogle former for alkoholbrug udgør en (rural) hverdagspraksis med betydning for både de unges lokalt forankrede mulighedsbetingelser og oplevelser af sig selv som kønnede individer. I konklusionen fremhaeves det, at vi må have både nationale diskurser om 'udkantsdanmark' samt strukturelle forskelle mellem land-og byområder for øje i en nuanceret forståelse af, hvorfor unge på landet har andre alkoholvaner end unge i byerne.
