An intoxicated state is a natural urge. We even learned about intoxication from animals themselves. However, you don't have to consume something to reach intoxication. Even children like being intoxicated, and they actively seek it out. Don't you remember as a child spinning round and round as fast as you could, so that you would get dizzy and fall down? That is an intoxicated state. Meditation will also bring forth the intoxicated state. Roller-coasters, bungee jumping, any adrenaline rush, etc. You don't have to consume a drug to be intoxicated.
