I think I am and it is plaguing me. One of my oldest friends invited herself on holiday with me and my dh when she was very drunk. She has an issue with drinking and is always making plans and things but not carrying them out. When she suggested it she was VERY drunk and I said lets talk another time or maybe have a weekend away together in winter if we can get it organised. She however has really got a bee in her bonnet about not having had a break this year and has looked at flights and so I told her that we may not be going now or may change the dates. I feel so bad but we haven't had a holiday for years and my dh doesn't want a holiday with someone who is always drunk although we love her to bits and entertain her lots

Just tell her you want to go on holiday by yourself. I'd also be inclined to tell her how off putting her drinking is.

What's stopping her going away on her own?

Tell her that you and dh really need a nice dirty holiday away together, and you'd be too busy shagging to spend any time with her? Why can't she just go on holiday by herself?

You have nothing to feel bad about. Just tell her - "I'm sorry if you've misunderstood, but me and DH are planning to go away together as a couple. I'm sure you'll understand that we don't really want anyone else joining us". If she doesn't accept that she's not really a friend is she?

BTW - that's "I'm sorry if you've misunderstood" not "I'm sorry but... " You have nothing to be sorry about.
