Like everything there's a scale, not all drunks become completely impervious to reason (and pain), and not everyone throwing punches is equally drunk of course.
However one thing I should say, I'd guess that bouncers over here would actually be less likely to use finger hold simply because I'd guess in a struggle you might be more likely to break a finger you have in a hold, than say a wrist or arm you have in a hold. Actually breaking something might leave you (and the place you work for) more open for trouble later on, as lasting damage tends to get frowned on more than a pain hold that has no ongoing repercussions.
That said some of the stories I've heard lead me to believe that concern for lasting damage may not be too high on every bouncers priority list!
