Given this description would you have pressed charges, or not?

Your damages are covered by the medical expenses, and an award for pain & suffering if you wished to pursue this in civil court.

I don't think you can get Pain and Suffering (Tort Laws) unless you can prove damages beyond normal medical issues. For example, if you have constant headaches (as a result of the fight) and the Dr. says you will have these headaches every day for the rest of your life, a judge may grant you pain and suffering.

I would not press charges... look at the circumstances you put yourself into, then look at the results. I am not saying it is bad to have a few drinks, but there are certain people I do not go have a few drinks with because they get out of hand.
