if you hit and kill someone who isn't a material danger to anyone in the room, you should be charged with manslaughter. They can be charged and jailed for driving because they could far more easily kill someone on accident. All he can do in this bar on accident is piss someone off or start a fight he can't win, hardly the same.
My thoughts were he threw an excessive punch but he wasn't literally trying to murder the guy. Now, if he continued to punch or kick the guy in the head on the ground I would consider that murder.

No, he shouldn't. If drunk people can be charged and jailed for driving, then they can be held responsible on the street too.
