I'm french, and I've never heard of that connotation for pleine. OTOH, if you tell me "je suis plein/pleine", I'll take it that you're drunk.

  I was unaware of it until it happened. Was told it's a Québecois thing. They also taught me the helicopter joke.

    Québécois here, never heard it either. Maybe it's a regional thing or it was a different word.

      Also possible they were messing with the American teenagers, since we were already being overwhelmed with differences between dialects of French.

      Not in Utica, no, it's an Albany expression.
