I was just going to suggest the same thing. Sometimes a diabetic is inappropriately labelled as "drunk" when in fact the presence of ketones produces an odor on the breath and a reading on the meter. Sometimes this is accompanied by disoriented behavior due to blood sugar being way off, which only adds to the effect.
