Might just be me (seeing as how im only 23 at UMASS amherst) but i've delt with those situations all the time. Next time just make sure you have a few pre-gamers to 'not feel so uncomfortable'.

just remember: When in Rome... Laughing

For the purposes of clarification I'll point out that it wasn't the fact that the drunken ass was trying to make me drink. I've hardly a problem with having a few belts of the old nasty and have been known to crawl home when the sun comes up on more than one occasion. The part that was most uncomfortable was the drunken ass's aggressive behavior that included banging on the table, screaming, yelling, and berating me in Chinese.

Had he just wanted to share a drink he easily could have accomplished this without acting like a worthless piece of human waste that he was acting.

Sounds like something a hypothesizer might say (diplomacy face on).

Theory versus facts, buddy.

Live first, speak second.
