Narrative:
During boarding for flight; flight attendant a called me and asked if I could come talk to the passenger in seat xb. She felt he was possibly intoxicated. I went to xb; he seemed upset and was yelling for another unknown passenger to come sit by him. I asked him if he was doing okay; he seemed agitated and upset. He was slurring his speech and had a slight smell of alcohol. He said he was fine but wanted his friend to come sit by him. I asked him if he had been drinking. He replied 'I had a big beer but I don't drive so I'm fine.' I asked him if he was intoxicated and he replied 'I only had a beer.' at that point I went to the front of the plane and asked flight attendant a if she believed he was intoxicated and she stated that she did feel he was intoxicated and that he had been rude to other guests and was upset he had to wear a mask. At that point with us both agreeing he was intoxicated she informed the captain that he needed to be removed due to him being intoxicated.
