Intoxicate : v. tr. and pron. Getting drunk, getting drunk.
Having had a sunburn: getting drunk.
Excerpt from the poem "Get drunk" by the French poet Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867):
You must always be drunk. It's all there: that's the only question. In order not to feel the horrible burden of Time which breaks your shoulders and bends you down to the earth, you must be intoxicated without respite.
But of what ? Wine, poetry or virtue, as you wish. But get drunk.
