Alex:
Judo is an excellent art. Just make sure that the kind of Judo you learn for self-defense isn't Olympic Judo, which mainly emphasizes Ippon throws.
By the way, I tend to agree with you about use of certain techniques against less than "lethal" opponents.
Just because someone is acting stupid doesn't mean that I can take him down and beat him silly or break elbows and knees.
That's why I like chokes. They render the opponent in relatively painless unconsciousness, but no permanent harm is done (except a few lost brain cells, maybe).
Of course, the best thing to do is to simply leave. But I also understand that sometimes that is not feasible.
