The guy was obviously a drunken asswipe and shouldn't have poured the beer in the first place. But you said he apologized, and your lady didn't sound like she wanted a scene. You did good with your self-restraint.
Knowing you could have hammered the guy a good one and holding back takes more self-control and discipline than giving in to the first urge of clockin' him. Shows presence of mind on your part.
The truly toughest guys I've known over the years would hold back on something minor like that - mostly because they're aware that if they launched a retaliation, someone would likely get seriously hurt and hospitalized.
I've seen a LOT of bar and pool hall scraps over the years, been in more than a few myself - and none go down like the hollywood versions the keyboard warriors envision.
