Kiefer Sutherland in Manhattan (2/4)

Kiefer Sutherland was in rare form last week at Peter Dillon's bar in Manhattan, getting absolutely trashed and then picking a fight with another bar patron. Hey, at least he kept his pants on this time. An eyewitness told the National Enquirer:

"[Kiefer] initially was soft-spoken, mellow and pleasant. He was ordering Maker's Mark whiskey cocktails and was even posing for some pictures."

But it wasn't long before Kiefer, who has admitted to having a drinking problem, ran into trouble. According to the eyewitness, Kiefer exploded after another patron near the pool tables said something to the actor - and the two ended up in a pushing and shoving match.

"Pals had to hold Kiefer back from decking the guy," continued the eyewitness. "After the incident, Kiefer appeared disheveled and drunk and had to be helped out. He tripped twice on his way out the door, but was apologizing for his actions." (Source)

Getting into a fight with Kiefer Sutherland is a "no-win" situation. If you win, congratulations, you just beat up a forty-something-year-old midget that weighs 75 pounds. And if you lose, congratulations, you just got your ass kicked by a forty-something-year-old midget that weighs 75 pounds. The best thing to do when confronted by an intoxicated Kiefer Sutherland: gently back away, apologize, and politely give him back his Lucky Charms.
