Intoxicating
Definition:
(p. pr. & vb. n.) of Intoxicate
(a.) Producing intoxication; fitted to intoxicate; as, intoxicating liquors.
Example Sentences:

(7) The onset of the symptoms usually occurs within a few minutes after ingestion of the implicated food, and the duration of symptoms ranges from a few hours to 24 h. Antihistamines can be used effectively to treat this intoxication.
(8) CNS excitation and seizures, manifestations of organochlorine intoxication, can occur following ingestion or inappropriate application of the 1 per cent topical formulation of lindane used to treat scabies and lice.
