Narrative

A PAX CAME TO FORWARD GALLEY YELLING ABOUT A COFFEE SPILL ON HIS PANTS. I GAVE HIM COLD WATER SOAKED CLOTHS FOR HIS THIGHS AND PANTS. I TRIED TO ASK HIM IF HE WAS BURNED; BUT HE WAS DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND; HE SMELLED OF ALCOHOL. HE STATED HIS DAUGHTER WOULD BE UPSET IF HIS PANTS WERE STAINED AND I WAS GOING TO BUY HIM NEW PANTS. WHEN HE FINISHED HE ASKED ME IF HIS PANTS WOULD DRY BEFORE WE GOT TO IAH. I FOLLOWED HIM TO HIS SEAT AND PUT THE AIR VENTS ON; DIRECTED THEM TO HIS UPPER THIGHS TO DRY HIS PANTS. I THEN MOVED THE UNACCOMPANIED MINOR TO ANOTHER SEAT. AFTER THE SVC; I ASKED THE UNACCOMPANIED MINOR IF SHE SAW WHAT HAPPENED. SHE TOLD ME THE PAX SPILLED COFFEE ON HIMSELF AND SAID SHE HAD DONE IT; SHE WAS IN NEARBY SEAT. SHE TOLD ME SHE SAW HIM DRINKING FROM A BOTTLE AND HE 'SMELLS LIKE ALCOHOL.' I ASKED THE PAX WHO WAS MEETING HIM IN IAH AND TRIED TO GET HIS ADDRESS. HE TOLD ME HIS DAUGHTER WAS MEETING HIM; BUT I COULDN'T GET HIS ADDRESS. ALL THROUGH INTERACTION WITH THE PAX HE REMAINED LOUD AND UNCOOPERATIVE. THE CAPT WAS KEPT INFORMED OF SIT THROUGHOUT THE FLT. SECURITY MET THE FLT AND I OBTAINED PAX ADDRESS. I SPOKE WITH THE DAUGHTER AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED ON BOARD. I EXPRESSED OUR CONCERN THAT HE MAY HAVE BURNED HIMSELF. SHE FELT HE WAS FINE; BUT WAS ON MEDICATION AND SHOULD NOT BE DRINKING ALCOHOL. THE PAX WILL BE FLYING BACK ON OUR ACFT. PLEASE MAKE NOTE HE SHOULD NOT BE SERVED ALCOHOL; SHOULD NOT BE BOARDED IF HE SMELLS OF ALCOHOL AS HAPPENED IN MIA. I SUGGEST HE BE ESCORTED BACK WITH A FAMILY MEMBER FOR SUPERVISION; AS HE WILL BE RETURNING ON OUR FLT.
