Ginsburg told an audience Thursday night that she drank some wine at dinner before attending the annual speech, where cameras repeatedly caught her nodding off.

The 81-year-old jurist said she was at dinner with other justices and couldn't resist "the very fine California wine" that Justice Anthony Kennedy brought.

"The audience for the most part is awake, because they're bobbing up and down, and we sit there, stone-faced. But we're not, at least I wasn't, 100 percent sober," Ginsburg said to laughter and applause during a joint appearance with Justice Anthony Scalia at George Washington University.

Her confession prompted some gentle ribbing from Scalia, who makes it a habit to skip the president's annual address to Congress.

"Serves you right, I say, serves you right for going," he teased Ginsburg.

Scalia said he stopped going years ago to escape what he called "a childish spectacle."

"One side jumps up and the other side jumps up and we sit there, you know, like bumps on a log," Scalia said.

Old people are funny when they drink.

Probably a bit too much like his day job.
