Hide AdRaqia Bano, of the probation service, said she had drunk “excessively” on the night, but alcohol was not generally a problem.
She was unable to do unpaid work because she has a two-year-old daughter.
The offence was serious enough to warrant a six-month community order, with an electronically-monitored curfew running from 9pm to 6am.
She must also pay £100 compensation with ££50 court costs, which will be deducted from her benefits.
