besotted
Drunk on someone
Besotted means infatuated to the point of foolishness—so enamored that judgment is impaired: He was completely besotted with her.
The word carries a slightly mocking tone, suggesting the person's devotion is excessive or undignified.
Less commonly, besotted can mean stupefied by drink, connecting to its older sense of being made sottish or foolish.
