Pro 20:1, Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.

Pro 23:29, Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?
Pro 23:30, They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
Pro 23:31, Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.
Pro 23:32, At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.
Pro 23:33, Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.
Pro 23:34, Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.
Pro 23:35, They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

Eph 5:18, And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

Think about it, if it's not okay to get drunk with wine, why would Yahweh want us "drunk" in the Spirit? From what I've seen of Spiritual drunkenness the result is the same: people acting stupid and falling down laughing.

If getting drunk on wine is bad, wouldn't drunkenness in the Spirit be even worse? Can this actually be from the Spirit?

And when we are we understand we are not to "just think about it" as that displays "leaning on ones own understanding " which we are guided to NOT do, but we ARE guided to take everything to Him for He will ALWAYS guide us in ALL truth.
best wishes brother Blade

I agree with the Op. Being drunk in the Spirit is a blessing. And you know where the best place to get drunk with the Spirt is?
In a Church ! Oh brother, the wonderful miracles of God’s mercy happen a lot in Churches and I’ve experienced one of them.
Glory to God !
