intoxicated: stupefied or excited by a chemical substance (especially alcohol); "a noisy crowd of intoxicated bishops"; "helplessly inebriated", pisshead

A BISHOP was so drunk he climbed into a stranger’s car before falling out and bashing his head. Nicola Sumpter, 33, said the Right Rev Tom Butler staggered from a function into the back of her Mercedes.

She said the Bishop of Southwark, 60, tossed out her baby’s toys and refused to leave the car outside a South London bar on Tuesday night. Asked if he had been drinking, he replied: “I am the Bishop of Southwark. It’s what I do.”
