Narrative:
While monitoring passenger boarding from aft/right-hand side of aircraft, I overheard a passenger who had previously boarded telling oncoming passenger how impressed he was with the aircraft, especially the size of the aircraft. He went on to say 'too bad it's going to crash.' it was at this point when I interceded. The passenger smelled of alcohol, he was somewhat drunk. I think passenger whom appear to be drunk should not be allowed on aircraft.

Narrative: WHILE MONITORING PAX BOARDING FROM AFT/R-HAND SIDE OF ACFT, I OVERHEARD A PAX WHO HAD PREVIOUSLY BOARDED TELLING ONCOMING PAX HOW IMPRESSED HE WAS WITH THE ACFT, ESPECIALLY THE SIZE OF THE ACFT. HE WENT ON TO SAY 'TOO BAD IT'S GOING TO CRASH.' IT WAS AT THIS POINT WHEN I INTERCEDED. THE PAX SMELLED OF ALCOHOL, HE WAS SOMEWHAT DRUNK. I THINK PAX WHOM APPEAR TO BE DRUNK SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ON ACFT.
