never discuss serious topics when drinking, ever.

You will find, through age and experience, that fights start over the stupidest of things between the best of friends when drinking. Not just "serious" topics.
The "older" guy here is an arse! Probably more of an arse when drinking. If you can't control yourself, then either stop drinking, or drink alone, in a cage, where you wont hurt anyone.
In all my years of drinking here, I have never been in a fight, and none of my drinking companions either, none of us tolerate arsehole drinkers.
Like I wrote, the older guy is more thank likely a dick even when he doesnt drink.

Another day in Japan more alcohol related violence. Move on people. Nothing new to see hear.

So... how'd he get the boot mark on the face? Honestly, the amount of drinking-related incidents lately with people killing roommates they drink with, family they drink with, co-workers they drink with... maybe lay off the sauce a little, eh?
