re: How many good, old-fashioned fist-fights have you been in?

One... New Years Eve in Tampa before the bowl game with Wisconsin. First in my life and I didn't have that on my bingo card and bucket list.
I was told that when I had enough of the dumbasses leaning on me while in my seat, I pushed through them over the bar like a road grader on the highway.... until a little runt sucker punched me and it was, "Down Goes Frazier!"
Bar owner said he was cheering for me to win and loved how I bowled them over... lol... so it took me 60 years to get in my first fight and I'm not in a mood to do that again.

My mom asked me and my brother why we got in fights, with each other and other guys, when were younger I told her it was testosterone and women will never understand. Some days you’d just wake up and want to hit somebody or get hit. Learning to take a punch is just as good as learning to throw one. When someone gives you the best they got and you eat that punch like it’s nothing that’s a hell of an adrenaline rush.
It never hurts to know how to fight, or know you can. I've had a lot more situations in my life where I didn't need to fight just because the other person could tell I could.
Oh frick, there's another one I forgot about. Spring Break at Padre when I about 20. i don't even know what caused that one, but it was another friend/bar brawl. I got to watch my little 5 8 friend kick some 6 2 dude's arse. We all stopped fighting to watch this.

I appreciate all the responses. 
Very interesting the mix of responses. I respect those that made a point to note that despite their prior fights, they understand that it's not the best way to resolve problems.
To those that judge fighting as trashy or have never been in a fight, I will just say that even those from well-to-do families living in affluence can get caught up in fights here and there. Violence is never a good thing, but those experiences build character, wisdom, and understanding.
These days, I'd say picking a fight is even more dangerous than ever given the state of our society and collective mental health - there's some really crazy people out there.

My brethren...go in peace and go with God.

More than I could count honestly

Been a long time though thankfully

you know there used to be a "game" where we would punch each other as hard as we could. Some of my friends could do some real damage

A guy in our hunting club was feeding bacon grease soaked sponges to coyotes. Technically I didn't start that one either I just called the guy pretty much every insult I can think of.
What’s wrong with this? Did he not also incorporate meat soaked in anti-freeze?

how many beers have you poured on someones head

Not many. Last fight I was in was a decade ago. After a wedding in Ponte Vedra, a group of us went to a local bar. We were minding our own business when two drunk sawed off guys came over and started talking crap. They were really trying to instigate something. We’re wearing suits, had dates and kept trying get them to go in their way, but they persisted. One of them finally jumped my friend and the other looked at me and came right at me. Don’t know how I did it, because I’m a shitty fighter, but I was able to leverage and get the guy on the pool table and start wailing on him. Just connection after connection. Finally the bouncers came in and dragged the two dudes out. Came back and said they were actually DEA agents who come in regularly to burn off some steam.
Felt like kind of a badass knowing I got the better of a government agent.
Woke up the next morning and my right hand was swollen like a baseball glove. Had to cancel a tee time at Sawgrass because I couldn’t grip the gd club.
Again, I’m not any kind of fighter. Just happened to take advantage of the right place at the right time.

3 total 1 in elementary, 1 in junior high and 1 in high school.
None after hitting 18 to many idiots would rather pull a gun instead of taking or giving or taking a bare knuckle arse kicking

I’m not even really sure at this point.
