Whats the meaning of a 'mean drunk'?

Question

why do people call violent drunks 'mean drunks' like they cant always be mean drunks can they?

Answer 1

Alcohol diminishes the oxygen content to your brain.  Some people perform well under this condition:  mountain climbers that climb Mount Everest, jet pilots.  Some others become very violent or offensive.  

Most people have their ups and downs when drinking and you can forgive some dude who got drunk and violent a few times, but when it is consistent that person has a violent tendancy when their brain is low on oxygen.  Watch it if he flies in an airliner (8,000' cabin altitude), or has too many drinks and steer clear when it comes on.  You won't be able to reason with him when it does.
