More or less “you bumped into a stupid drunk, now they’re hitting you, what did you expect, the drunk to not be stupid?”
Equally though if the drunk was walking around trying to start a fight then it’s fairly expected and your actions kind of did start the fight, even though it’s absolutely the drunk who’s in the wrong
