When you act like a loudmouth douchebag, and/or a bully in a public place you become "That Guy". Your friend, even if he's trying to dissuade you in your actions, is "The Other Guy". Don't expect gratitude: he was probably happier to be anonymous.

You don't get to decide others' opinion of you. If your view of yourself doesn't jibe with their view of you, one of you is missing something. If you object to their opinion then doing more of what formed their opinion is probably not going to change it.

If your opinion of yourself is solid then their opinion of you shouldn't matter to you.

If you can't remember how much you had to drink at any given time in the recent past you probably drink too much.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you can't allow your friends to hold their own opinion you don't actually want friends, but acolytes.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Expecting people to "Know Better" isn't always fair. Tell them. They may have been raised by coyotes, and have no reason to suspect that they're bothering you. If you tell them and they don't care that's cause to walk away.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
No matter how much someone cares about you, being turned into "The Other Guy" is too high a price to pay for your company.
