Getting caught off guard in a bar fight could possibly cost you your life. You are out for a couple of drinks with perhaps a couple of friends, or even a lovely companion, and some drunk imbecile decides to bring you into his stupidity. Normally, you two would not even know or associate with each other, but alcohol consumption has a funny way of breaking those barriers down. The threat is imminent and also violating your personal space.

If you have already tried talking yourself out of it, or removing yourself from the situation, fighting may sometimes be the last option. When a fight is going to happen, you must fight as if your life depends on it.
