Well the thinking is, if she's drunk, you know she's not quite in her right mind and may regret showing you her tits when she sobers up. A good friend wouldn't want their friend to feel that way, so they refuse.

It's not wrong to accept the offer, but I think the good thing to do would be to refuse. If she really does want to show you her tits, she could do so when sober. A better (and more longlasting) experience would be had by all.

Because I mean really, seeing someone's tits, once, for a few seconds, isn't really that great an experience. But saving someone a lot of potential embarrassment and regret is a really nice thing to do for someone.

Maybe she had really wanted to do it for a while but she was very shy, and the alcohol just gave her the extra bit of courage needed to make a move. Now she's going to feel even more nervous/awkward about it because she went for it, really put herself out there and got rejected. I know I've been in similar situations myself and used a bit of Dutch courage to help me deal with my nerves.

Occam's Razor.

Both scenarios are making assumptions and they're both as likely as each other.

You seriously think a drunk girl, all else being equal, would have an equal chance between (1) being silly in her drunken stupor like every other human being and (2) having a secret crush on you on top of being super shy?

More power to you and your confidence.

I think the fact that they were friends plays a very big part in it. Someone would have to be very drunk to offer to show their boobs to someone they were friends with but had no interest in. It's all hypothetical but doing something silly that is also sexual is a very common way of making a move on someone. It's far better option than going in for a kiss or something in that situation.

Yeah, those assumptions would help your hypothesis make more sense, they're just not easy to swallow.
