the best defense against a sucker punch is leaving the bar early.
seriously, it's not terribly difficult to keep people who might conceivably punch you out of arms reach. we end up in bad situations when we ignore our better judgment and that little voice in the back of our heads.
think about it. how many 'surprise attacks' have you experienced that were actually surprises when you thought about it later? it's amazing how much we can see coming when we pay attention.
