intoxicates
Makes someone tipsy
Intoxicates means causes intoxication—the impaired state produced by alcohol or drugs.
The word extends to any overwhelming effect: The applause intoxicates him.
Beauty, power, or success can intoxicate as readily as whiskey.
What intoxicates clouds judgment and alters perception, whether the source is chemical or emotional.
