(Newser) – A descendant of the Guinness brewing family got so drunk on a long flight that she "cavorted" with a male passenger, took off her skirt, and threw her son’s dirty diaper into a row of seats, observers say. A flight attendant said “she had absolutely no clue about the child and the way she was behaving was not tipsy, but drunk,” the Daily Telegraph reports.

The staff stopped giving Clare Irby alcohol after four hours. “You can't say no to us,” said Irby and the man, who was with his girlfriend on the 11-hour flight. Irby was arrested upon landing and denies having been drunk.

If she'd flown Irish Aer they wouldna noticed. (And anyway, shouldn't Guinness provide a company jet with free product?)
