That Rubber Biscuit sequence was great. They were so hammered. That's always fun to watch.

The way the fun ends that night was definitely Marty making a statement about the war. That was a time of free living on the streets, even in this tight knit, traditional neighborhood. People of all kinds were coming into that bar. A real glimpse of early 1970s NYC I'm sure. The vet flipping out was a reminder that this country was very much at war during this time. This was around the time when a lot of vets were coming back to limited opportunities. Add PTSD and other mental illnesses brought on by their tours of duty and things got ugly. Very much part of the "mean streets" at this time.
