Yes, she may have been suffering from alcoholitis, but that's not a good enough excuse for my money. She was still standing after all.
The company her husband works for were customers of mine. Somehow, he was promoted to general manager and since his promotion, they no longer do business with me. To this day I suspect my witnessing the "event" contributed to his decision. Although I socialize with the owner of his company, I could never in good conscience bring up my suspiscions as to why I am no longer their supplier. This is one of those dilemmas they never discussed in any management course I ever took.
This has got to be one of the funniest lines of the day... (grin)

Her husband is probably mortified to death and too embarrassed to look you in the eye.
What an awkward business and social situation for you!
