It's nothing to do with IQ. It's people with aggressive personality traits and alcohol.

Yes it was just a joke. I appologise that this was not technically a correct statement. I would say however that there is probably a correlation between IQ and level of violence because people with lower intelligence lack the ability to control their emotions / temper as well as people who are able to deal with it.

I mean lets face it if you were to walk around a typical city on a friday night and round up all the people being agressive or having a fight, took them back to some place and did an IQ test on them. Next to this you would do a control group of normal people who were just sat in a restaurant talking or similar, which do you think would score higher on the intellience test?! The group of drunken violent people? Or the control group that were sat in restaurants having a civil conversation?
