But it is the solution I seek.
I very much thank you for you input, and suspect it will be echoed. Many have a macho streak on the internet but you didn't parrot that. Kudos.
People have been giving you sound advice given the constraints in the OP, but you seem hell bent on reasoning with a drunk. Reasoning with a drunk isn't possible so your only option is physical separation; you leave or get the drunk to leave. You don't want to leave and are too timid to confront the drunk. What precisely are you doing and where are you doing it that you can't get the proprietor, owner, policeman, etc. to intervene on your behalf?
In short, you can't reason with a drunk so your options are to leave, confront the drunk, or get someone else to confront the drunk on your behalf.
