One reason why I quit drinking in bars

A Plano man and former Marine says he’s thankful to be alive after being stabbed more than a dozen times then left for dead last weekend. 

Hunter Aselton’s torso is covered in stab wounds and bruises, including one close to his heart. 

“I'm thankful to be alive,” he said. “I definitely want justice.”

I was probably 27-28 years old before I figured out that I'd been in more fights in or around bars than I have anywhere else combined and it was just a matter of time before I got killed in one.
It never occurred to me to drink in nicer bars.
