India is a tough place to have a beer apparently:

Don't stare at anybody at a pub, even if you just mean to admire his shirt or her hair. Staring is not taken well inside a pub and has often been the cause of brawls. Pub regulars feel drinkers are getting more belligerent these days, summer being a time for beer binges. Brawls are more common in pubs that stay open beyond the stipulated closing time of 11.30 pm. Says general secretary, Bangalore Bar, Pub and Restaurant Owners' Association, Ashok Sadhwani, "We notice that, on an average, a pub-goer drinks 2-3 large pegs or 2-4 mugs of beer. In pubs that flout the deadline, drinkers tend to go beyond their limit and there are brawls."
