Maroons coach Mal Meninga was asked to leave a Brisbane bar by security in the early hours of Wednesday morning as the Queensland camp celebrated Billy Slater and Cameron Smith's 30th birthdays.
But Meninga insisted he was not intoxicated, saying he left with Maroons assistant coach Allan Langer and star pivot Johnathan Thurston after complying with a request from hotel management.

Meninga was given a bottle of water on his way out.
The incident occurred around 1.10am on Wednesday morning at the Down Under Bar and Grill in Brisbane's CBD.
It is understood Meninga had consumed one beer at the pub when he stepped behind a service area asking to be served a drink.
Security intervened and ordered Meninga to leave the establishment for entering an area that was off-limits to patrons.
Thurston and Langer approached security asking if Meninga could remain, but their pleas fell on deaf ears and they departed the pub with the Maroons mentor.
The incident comes 24 hours after Meninga said he was "fed-up" with the litany of off-field scandals tarnishing the code's image, headlined by NSW winger Blake Ferguson's indecent-assault charge.
Meninga tried to explain the events that led to his departure from the pub.
"I stepped into the service area which is a breach of the rules," he said.
"They asked me to leave and 'Alf' (Langer) and 'JT' (Thurston) wanted to talk to the security people about what had happened.
"Rather than cause a scene, I said, 'It's OK boys, I'm happy to leave,' and they came with me.
"I want to make it clear I left the premises without incident."
The Queensland team entered camp on Tuesday afternoon for Origin II.
After completing team commitments, Maroons players and staff arrived at the Regatta Hotel in Toowong around 9.30pm to celebrate the birthdays of Slater and Smith.
A small contingent then kicked on at the Down Under Bar but no member of the Maroons was reported to have misbehaved.
Down Under Bar and Grill management were unavailable for comment.
