He'd better get/He might as well

Woman: Could you please watch your language, sir. I've got a five-year-old here.

Drunk man: He'd better get used to. / He might as well get used to it.

Woman: Get used to what? What are you talking about?

Drunk man: I'm talking about the red hair. That's right. He's going to be called all kinds of nasty things because of that.

Woman: Excuse me?


- Is the dialog OK do you think?

- Which of "he'd better get" and "he might as well" would you prefer here?

anonymous Drunk man: He'd better get used to it . / He might as well get used to it. The first one is harsh compared to the second, which I might call fatalistic, so it depends how you want to portray the drunk man.
