Or Bessie Braddock. Accounts differ.
I tend to think it was Braddock:

Bessie Braddock, MP, Liverpool

Actually you are both wrong. Here is the correct story: Lady Astor said to Churchill, "If you were my husband I would put poisen in your coffee". To which Churchill replied: "Madam, if you were my wife, I would drink it!"

The other quote IS attributed to W.C. Fields and the correct version is: A lady said to Fields, "You're drunk!" To which Fields replied, "Yes, I am, and you are ugly. And in the morning I won't be drunk, but you will still be ugly"
