What happened is unfortunate. I've been in similar read (stupid) situations like that before where I was playing around with a bunch of intoxicated friends. A few years ago, a friend went on a macho trip and challenged a couple people in sequence. He easily asserted dominance over the first guy, choking him with his own arm. The second guy had about seventy five pounds on him and walked his feet up the front of the refrigerator when their match went to the ground, thus multiplying his downward force. My friend conceded that one, but got him to tap on their rematch. After he took a cigarette break, and we had some gatorade mixed with 151 (this was back in my drinking days...), we set up for our sparring match. We weren't really any brighter then you were, because this also took place in a kitchen.
Since my friend and I both happened to practice the same martial art (JKD - I emphasize this for you Steel, in case you need another good laugh) we spent a while just circling each other and making a few probative passes to test out our defenses. After a quick exchange of hand and foot strikes, we clinched and took each other down (no clear advantage at that point) for the ground fighting portion.
Being roughly equal in terms of skill, strength, and raw stubbornness, we put on a grappling clinic for roughly half an hour. As soon as I thought I had something I could exploit into a finish hold, the guy would roll like a crocodile. We battered each other against cabinets, appliances, and linoleum.
After a war of attrition which resulted in a myriad of bruises and possibly a light concussion, I was able to take advantage of an opening. After which, when my opponent had not made any sort of defensive or offensive move after a five count, I disengaged and was declared the winner. We still debate this, my friend claiming he was just storing up for his next attack.
During a later sparring match with another friend of mine with martial arts training, we both inflicted semi-permanent injuries on each other. I checked his advance with a stop-kick which I'd aimed below the knee but he'd somehow managed to sink into taking right on the knee-cap. He still limps sporadically. Later, he got me in a bad wrist lock (my wrist still clicks). When he tried going for the same thing again later, I pulled in, twisted the arm and illustrated how I could tag him in the head with an elbow.
I'm getting/have gotten too old for that stuff now though...
