Here’s a thread from 20 years ago on almost, not quite, the same topic

> [Inspired by this thread.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=336311) What is the worst fight you have ever been in? If you have never been in a fight, what is the worst fight you have ever witnessed? I am talking about physical, “get yourself a black eye and bruised ribs… or worse” fight. I have two experiences… well more like one and a half as the 2nd one didn’t really get to the point of throwing fists. The first was when I was 14 years old. I was in Boy Scouts and it was summer camp. I was on my way back to our troop’s campsite …

As to the OP’s story, damned lucky thing all 4 of 'em didn’t get their asses whupped. Pretty much a classic case of lowlife drunks doing FAFO.
