heady

Goes to one's

Heady describes something that goes to your head.

A heady wine or perfume is intoxicating.

A heady experience produces excitement or elation: the heady days of early success, a heady sense of freedom.

Heady decisions are rash or impetuous—made with the head spinning rather than thinking clearly.
