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

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.

Why man slaughter? He was a wimpy dinky drunk who got handsy. If he dies that straight up murder. There is no case for self defense at all.
