Drunk in the Spirit?
I do believe that you could be drunk in the Spirit:
Be not drunk with wine which is excess but
instead be filled with the Spirit.
compares being filled with God to being drunk with wine.
And that other passage where He says they're not drunk
"as you suppose"
Why else would he think that they "supposed" the men
were drunk with wine? There must be a reason. amen?
...be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: 15 For these are not drunken , as ye suppose , seeing it is but the third hour of the day. 16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy , and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams : 18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy...
I did not watch the video, I'm just answering to the idea of being
"drunk in the Spirit" And i do believe you can be kind of drunk on
God, sure.
Then again, I think this is precious too:

Hi Sunflower. Being "Drunk in the Spirit" is a completely made up and unbiblical idea. The pastor in the video I shared said used the same reference you did about people thinking the disciples were drunk so it means they would have been behaving in such a way to suggest they were a bit drunk. If you simply look at the bible closely, it says EXACTLY why they thought the disciples were drunk.
Act 2:6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together,
and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
Act 2:7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another,
Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
Act 2:8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
Act 2:9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
Act 2:10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
Act 2:11 Cretes and Arabians,
we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
Act 2:12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
Act 2:13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
Notice that the people who commented that they were drunk did so mockingly. These were not serious people. They were mocking them. What does it mean to mock?
Verb
Tease or laugh at in a scornful or contemptuous manner.
Adjective
Not authentic or real, but without the intention to deceive.
Noun
An object of derision.
There were people there who obviously was making light of this manifestation of the spirit and instead of embracing what was happening decided to mock them. These are the people who said they must be drunk. It was not any of the people giving serious analysis who came to this dumb conclusion.
And the scripture clearly points out that what confused everyone was not how the disciples were acting, but what they were saying and the fact that everyone could hear them.
This same false preacher used this same text to prove that when you are filled with the spirit you act drunk. This is nonsense!!
