Narrative:

During boarding, it become evident that a female passenger with a boarding pass for a seat in first class may have been intoxicated. Flight attendant #4 explained to her that she would not be served any more alcohol during flight. She agreed. During taxi, the woman indicated she was going to vomit. All crew members decided to return to gate in order to remove the woman. We should not have given the woman the benefit of the doubt of behaving during the flight. We should have removed her during boarding to avoid the interruption of flight.
