She was out of line - how many times are drinks spilt in a bar (especially one with lots of people in it). No-one is to blame for a spilt drink.
I wouldn't hit her, though (mostly cause I avoid conflict).

Well I agree the two situations are different. On that note what I was trying to say was that it isn't necessary to hit a woman. Only if a man is in serious fear of bodily harm or worse should he ever hit a woman...other than that I can't think of reason to hit a woman.
True...drinks do get spilled in bars...it's inevitable. But, I was speaking more to the idea of him being the adult and avoiding conflict in a place where alcohol is consumed...in a situation where provoking her even more would only be disastrous. He didn't do too bad....and I tend to get long winded, but I think he knew the answers to his questions before he even asked. I just think he was looking for confirmation. Had he just held his tongue a little better..whether he offered to buy a drink or not, it's entirely possible his jaw wouldn't be hurting.
