I was minorly upset at being told to give him a break, on the grounds that he
was drunk and therefore deserved sympathy.
But as you say, the remedy is in my own hands. I have survived for well over
half a century without ever giving someone a break because he or she was
drunk. I can continue to survive. I can simply ignore Peter B.'s existence,
and he can ignore mine. That way we should both be happy.
