There isn't really much else that can be said here that hasn't been said.
However, some people react differently to different types of alcohol. Whiskey and such makes some people irate. That might not be the case with you, but if you are a different (happy/sad) drunk when drinking certain types of alcohol, then don't drink that type!
Also, remember your girlfriend. She probably won't want to keep dating you if you don't take charge of your own life and get your anger under control.
Violence should be a last resort. Always try and take a step back from the situation, and realize that any bar fight could get very serious very fast. What if he would have fallen, knocked his head, and gotten seriously injured? What if he would have had a knife, and stabbed you? Or what if he was a professional MMA fighter, and broke your jaw in a punch?
Question you should always ask yourself, is it worth it? Will you really care about this in a week? In a month?
Don't forget the criminal side of this either. Violence is illegal, and even if you claim (perhaps rightly) self defense, do you really want the hassle, and fiscal expense of hiring a lawyer, going to court, missing work, etc.
Just take all that stress, anger, and resentment out of your life. Realize that this is your life, you're in control. Don't let anger rule you. You're in control.
Take three deep breaths, and walk away. And when you walk away, smile, because you're totally in control. The result of walking away will almost always be better than getting in a fight. It's not worth it. You're more mature than that, and so is society.
Your gf wants to see your softer caring side, not your gladiator side.
