I've always found that these five work great for me:
1. Avoid bars that don't have any windows.
2. Drive away from crazy, screaming, threatening people.
3. Run/walk away from trouble.
4. When somebody sticks a .22 to your head, offer them your wallet.
5. Talk your way out of it.
All are street-tested. What if you must do something overtly physical?
1. If possible, make it clear that you're bigger.
2. If your friends/acquaintances are screaming at each other, step between them so they can't see each other.
3. Think of something funny to say.
4. When somebody threatens you, burst out laughing.
5. Call the cops.
Again, all street-tested. I realize that these ten aren't always posssible/practicable, but one of the things I always wonder about in these discussions is just how the heck it is that folks manage to find so many fights to get into.
