When I go out to drink my goal is just to have a good time and not get wasted, so I'm not drunk. The one girl I dealt with in ladies room was obviously shit-faced. In prior confrontations, of course they had been drinking but they were'nt falling down or stumbling. Hell, these are bars so I assume everyone but designated drivers have been drinking to some degree. One gal I had a fairly long punch out with in parking lot about 2 years ago didn't seem drunk, she just didn't like I danced with her partner and she insisted on getting a piece of me. I obliged and it was mostly a standup fistfight with some hair grabbing. She was sober enough to give me a good fight. That ended when I popped her solid in the nose, and it was bleeding so much she waved off and wanted to stop. I didn't chase her. In those situations I just defend myself, not looking to cause trouble.
