Good story and well told. I was thinking that it might just as appropriately have been titled "The Dark Side of Alcohol". The fact is, if you and the kilt hadn't been there, it probably would have been someone or something else. Also it probably wouldn't have happened if booze hadn't been consumed to excess. It's not the fault of the kilt. Mychaels analysis is absolutely correct. And even though your experience is an extreme example, the overwhelming majority of experiences wearing a kilt are going to be positive ones. Kudos to you for maintaining your composure.
