I assume Sherlock meant that her comment, "You're a popular choice [for a murder victim] at the moment," indicated she'd had too much to drink?
I don't agree with him there, however...

Yeah, that was the implication. It was more of a jokey remark than a serious one though, I think. I don't think he actually believed Mrs H had had too much to drink, he just wanted to make a quick quip and maybe embarrass her enough to shut up.

Just a jokey way of saying 'Shut up Hudders, I'm deducting.'

Yeah I think it was his way of saying 'Shut up!'

I thought he said that because he was afraid she might make it into a weapon to threaten him with. Or splash champagne in his face, maybe.

^I did think about that too!
