Violence was much more acceptable back then. Beating your wife, beating your kids, getting into drunk fights. That's just what everyone did. If slaps had destroyed people there would be no one left. If you slapped the wrong person however, yeah I could see that having consequences.

Actually I have friends who have slapped other friends while drunk and nothing at all came of it. They didn't get excluded. They also didn't do it again.
