Intoxication

The state of being poisoned; the condition produced by the administration or introduction into the human system of a poison. But in its popular use this term is restricted to alcoholic intoxication, that is, drunkenness or inebriety or the mental and physical condition induced by drinking excessive quantities of alcoholic liq-' uors, and this is its meaning as used in statutes, indictments, etc.
