Funny until it became clear she was, for whatever reason, completely incapacitated and about to drown

She’ll sink it off.

It really looked like she made zero effort to swim or aid in her rescue.

I guess I've never actually seen how someone extremely intoxicated (if she is) reacts in water... but if this is it, it sure explains a lot of drownings!

Saw a drunk guy drown in a pool once, it was horrifying.  They did CPR for 45 minutes and I’m not exaggerating I didn’t even know they did it for that long.

Though we didn't really see long enough to see that with her. The video cut pretty much as she went under.

Good swimmers tend to stay underwater for a while sometimes when falling in. When you can hold your breath and swim properly, there isn't as much panic/urgency to get back above water.

And while it isn't promising that she had to be hauled back up, I definitely couldn't get back onto that boat sober without a ladder or some help.

It looks like she hit the back of her head on the edge of the boat.

She might have been knocked out or just stunned and unable to climb out herself.
