Now according to Michael O'Donahue Winston's remark was somewhat different:

Matron: Winston, you are drunk!

Churchill: Eat my shorts.

From the same source, at a party Lady Astor said to the man:

Astor: Winston, if you were my husband I'd poison your coffee.

Churchill: And if you were my wife I'd beat the sh*t out of you!

God, he was a fine man.
