It's also a good lesson in which buddies to hang with out in public.
One of my friends from high school is a ton of fun, but I can't hang out with him in public places anymore. He just doesn't know his limit when it comes to booze. Also sneaks extra drinks at the bartop when we're all at a table, that sort of thing. Me and a mutual friend could usually get him out of situations by putting hands on his shoulders and what not. He's a big guy, which usually causes the other party to back down.
...Until one time he got into it with a dude who had three friends pop-up and they were ready to throw down. It was very clear to me the four dudes from the other party would have smashed the three of us. My other friend and I basically had to carry our friend out of there and the other party followed us wanting to throw punches. It was very likely my friend who caused the situation so there's not much you can really do. Realized at that moment that hanging out with him in public like that really was a liability for me (5'10, 170 lb dude) and I needed to be smarter about it (as much as I like the dude when he's not liquored up).

Back in my college days when I'd go clubbing three nights a week, my main wingman was that type of guy. He'd get a few drinks in him and suddenly he's ****ing Connor Mcgregor. I almost got into so many fights with that ****er. Thankfully, in my experience anyway, most people don't truly want to fight. Just grab your friend and shove him away or tell the other dude/s "he's wasted, just walk away" and most times you walk away clean.
I think it helped that we were both little dudes. My bud was probably 5'8 175. I'm 5'10" and was much younger so I was probably in the 150 range at that time. I think most dudes realize you don't get any points for fighting a little guy. Either you win and congrats, you just beat up the small guy or you lose and you just got beat up by the small guy LMAO
