what should I do??

Let's see -- a lot of alcohol was involved and that will sometimes cause people to do things that they normally wouldn't do. Not that that excuses him hitting her.
Women who hit men are just as bad as men who hit women. In some cases they might be smaller and not as strong and their hitting doesn't have quite the same effect, it's still hitting and the intent is there. The woman has some anger management issues, and if I were him, I'd show her the front door.
He was honest about doing it, they didn't try to cover it up, so I"m inclined to beleive this was a one off event... Absers and abusees get pretty good at perfecting the lies about the bruises.
If he's that good a friend, and he sounds like if if you were comfortable asking, and he was ok with telling, maybe suggest an anger management class, or simply walking away if there is a next time, and walking away for good. We tell women that they shouldn't stay with a man who hits them - -same goes for men if their woman hits them.`
