But to negotiate for the knife, then just punch someone without knowing why, is dangerous behavior.
I suggested the sleep it off technique for safety reasons, this gives you the opportunity to talk to dude when he's sober, but to attack him then kick him out leads to the possibility that he'll show up at your house drunk at 3am with a gun thinking "that kid sucker punched me, i'm going to teach him a lesson"
Either way, I don't know the whole story, the problem was resolved, thats the most important thing, but i'm just suggesting to the TS that when a situation requires you to react immediately you need to do so off of instinct, and when a situation allows you time to think, take advantage of that time.
