In a different band the guitarist/vocalist was so drunk he played and sang to the wrong song for the entire song. We were so lovely I don't think anyone noticed.

Just act like nothing is wrong and keep playing. Everything is way worse if you stop the song or start apologizing for your fuckups. Chances are nobody noticed and even if they did they probably don't care.

This. I went to a friend's show recently and was drinking a bunch since I didn't have to play. Five minutes before he goes on he decided he wanted me to drum behind him. He and I thought it was awful, but we didn't stop or apologize and afterwards people kept coming up and telling us it was great.
