February is the Least Likely Month for Fist Fights

February’s icy vibes seem to chill out conflict altogether.

Think winter is all gloom and frostbite? Good news — it might also be your least likely month to get clocked in the kisser.

According to a U.K. study, February holds the coveted title of least punch-y month of the year. That’s not just because it’s short…it’s because the cold, darkness, and early nights keep people huddled indoors instead of stumbling into bar fights.

In contrast, warmer months like May through July see more mingling, more drinks, and more regrettable decisions involving fists. Holiday family gatherings in December might stir up emotions, but February’s icy vibes seem to chill out conflict altogether.
