exactly. I'm surprised the fella in this one didn't strike sooner!
The problem with beer muscles.
A similar situation happened to me in college while I was bartending/bouncing. A person I flagged started calling me names and took a swing at me. He had been served drinks on the deck bar (I worked inside) by the idiot female bartender who should have stopped serving him a number of drinks earlier.
Even after he swung at me I tried to be calm. He swung at me again and the owner called the police.
He then threw a pint glass and began to taunt me. Broke a mirror. Bad move.
It's all self defense from there. Not only did he get his ass handed to him, he got arrested.
