I got into my first fight in awhile last night, after a rather drunk guy told me I would have to "make" him stop aggressively hitting on my date, who was physically and verbally rejecting his advances.

I got violent with him a second time after he decided to tackle a friend of mine from behind.

I felt in control and I also felt that he was promoting physical violence in both situations.

Normally, I'd rather diffuse such situations with sharp words, but this guy was being so rude and I think I let anger get in the way.

I was fairly sober. These altercations occured a couple hours after I'd had two shots.
