For the folks (like me) who are a bit overly paranoid....
When you do call the company/CP, start the conversation with, "This is CA Schmuckatelly speaking with CA Jefe Piloto at [time and date]. CA Piloto, I am informing you that I am recording this call, do you understand and consent to this recording?"
(It works great with insurance companies that are reluctant to pay legitimate expenses too. Be advised, most responses you get will take several seconds as the representative tries to formulate a response the lawyers will be happy with.)
((Side note for those who are not Navy: Schmuckatelly is the "quintessential" seaman))

Didn't this happen at Delta not too long ago? Pax accused the CA of being intoxicated. CA had to go get tested at an out station. 3hours later an indignant pax was thrown off the flight and everything down the line was delayed.

All depends, she didn't accuse you of insobriety, she was investigating...
If she was cute, I would invite her to sit down, and casually explain that her "pick-up line" was a little crude...
If she was not attractive, in my best indignant voice state, "As I don't find you the least bit attractive, I can assure you (and everybody within ear-shot) that I am PERFECTLY sober!"

My personal opinion...
I would simply ignore. Responding to, addressing her, or even acknowledging her just serves to add validity to an otherwise meaningless remark and situation.
I would continue on as if I didn't here her, and as if she was not sitting next to me.

I think everyone is overreacting to this situation.
There is very simple resolution. Here's what I do; turn to her and say cheers.
No, in all honesty I slowly put down my beer, look around as if I'm not sure who's she's talking about and slyly walk away.
Stay Calm and Chive On!
