You are an idiot and I wouldn't want you managing a toilet for me or my company. If this worker did not have enough respect for their position to show up straight, they are not anyone I could trust.
So you know for a fact this worker was intoxicated and not suffering from a medical condition, how?
Years ago, when I was in biotech sales a coworker was acting intoxicated at a meeting. One of the meeting planners approached me and were accusing him of being drunk. Well it was 9 in the morning and I knew this guy was very professional and would never show up to a meeting drunk at 9am. I found one of his close associates and informed him of the situation. He knew his medical condition and asked me to go to the gift shop at the hotel and get some hershey bars as he was an insulin dependent diabetic and probably had low blood sugar.
I fetched the chocolate bars and his friend fed them to him. I watched in amazement as he transformed from "drunk" to normal in a matter of minutes. His friends knowledge of him medical condition and fast thinking probably saved his life.

Report it. I did. The person was regularly drunk at work. Boss did nothing. The person died two weeks later of alcohol poisoning.
Your concern for a fellow human is inspiring.

Tell her boss and follow up with an email that summarizes your conversation.
CYA.
CYA.

So reporting the person as drunk saved their life? I think you just made his point for him.

B & C.
Let her boss deal with it, but keep your boss in the loop.

Report it to your boss and while in his/her office, resign from your position and ask him to hire someone that can make a decision commensurate with their duty position without enlisting the help of the OT.
Then go home, read Extreme Ownership and try to suck less at your next job. That book will help teach you things like:

Of course it did. But in this situation that I witnessed the reporter acted like an arse telling everyone at the meeting that this guy came to work drunk.
She could have been a little more discrete about it and in the end wishes she had.
My advice was to tread lightly and consider the fact that it may very well be a medical condition and not intoxication.

Bumping for an update....

yeah, no kidding - it's almost 9:30...What happened man!?!

In the real world out there, shite happens all the time. Were that to happen here & litigation results, the first person scheduled for a deposition would be the person who told you about it. They you get to testify under oath what you knew when. If your answer was " I didn't do shite because it was none of my business & I did not want to be a snitch", the plaintiff atty will start adding more zeros to his claim for damages. And there are many cases where corporate negligence can be penalized by punitive damages above & beyond any documented damages. Sad but true: this world is the real world. Major cover your arse.

With all the up-votes this reply received, this exemplifies the pussification of American in general. Everyone is more concerned with covering their arse instead of being a straight up person...if there's no chance of her getting hurt, or hurting anyone else, you call her into your office and let her know that it better not happen again - this is how you earn respect and gratitude from people. Now, if it occurs again, you bring it straight to the top level managers so it can be dealt with appropriately...
Whats your drug of choice?

You also follow chain of command and properly document it, even if in a desk file. If you just tell her in your office, you do not create the necessary documentation to back up claims that it has happened before and could also have her come back with drummed up claims. HR policies are a pain in the arse, but they are there for a reason.

You're never going to do wrong by doing the right thing.

Report to your boss if you think they can be trusted.

Either B then C, or C then B. Either way, I'm amazed that you are even asking this question. I take it you have direct reports and are in a management position. What pissant kinda company do you work for where they didn't train you on this stuff already?
Or did you attend the training and you're just not too bright?
Either way, I think you've hit the zenith of your Peter Principle trajectory. No where to go from here pal.
If your boss gets wind that you had to come ask us bunch of e-jackoffs for the right call he's going to probably put you on a PIP, or just fire you.
