My two abiding memories of nightlife in Aberdeen, Scotland are
1) Almost getting mugged - when I was not in the best part of the city admittedly,
2) Seeing a guy staggering about that had just been hit in the face with a broken bottle.
A few episodes like that, add in sensationalist reporting and activist local politicians and you could easily imagine a situation where local night-life gets thrown out with the bathwater.
People get drunk. They fight and they do stupid shit. It's what they do.
