A Dictionary of Law

Generally relates to the use of strong drink. “Intoxicated,” used condition produced by drinking intoxicating spirituous liquor, and is equivalent to “drunk.” No additional word is necded to conyey this idea. It is sometimes said that a person is intoxicated with opium, or with ether, or with Jaughing-gas; but this is an unusual or forced use of the word. A complaint, under a statute authorizing proceedings against persons found intoxicated, which avers that defendant was found intoxicated, is in this respect sufficient, and need not allege upon what Lebecame so.
