Default A crazy situation - What\'s the decision?

OK.

Saw this crazy situation where the floor had to make a decision, a slightly tricky one, compounded by dealer error and drunk players...

The cards are dealt. Action commences. Four or five in the pot, no raise. Burn, turn, the flop is dealt. There's a bet and two calls, it's up to the button next. All of a sudden the button, drunk, speaks up and says he was only dealt one card (he's been calling preflop all night without looking). FLOOR!

Considerations...

1. Everyone's real drunk, but real happy, and the game's been moving along quickly and happily despite all the alcohol.

2. The dealer's a good dealer, but obviously didn't deal the last card before the flop. However if the players weren't so drunk it would have been a very easy mistake to correct (had the button pointed it out before the flop).

3. There has been "significant action."

4. The floor is not equipped with a cattle prod, can of whoop-ass, or any other such equipment.

5. None of the players, not even the button, are making a big deal out of the situation, they just want to keep playing!

So what's the decision?
