What is the biblical basis for "spiritual drunkenness"?
score:1
Spiritual drunkenness is an informal or colloquial description of a variety of behaviors.
Briefly, Ephesians 5:18 compares two states of being- being drunk with wine, which is to be avoided and being filled with the Spirit. This suggests being filled with the Holy Spirit can also lead surrendering control to God. "Do not get drunk with wine, for that is wickedness (corruption, stupidity), but be filled with the [Holy] Spirit and constantly guided by Him." https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Ephesians%205%3A18
In Acts 2, when the apostles, were baptized in the Holy Spirit, which Christ foretold " '...the Father sends you the gift he promised, as I told you before. 5 John baptized with[a] water, but in just a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.' " https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%201%3A4%2D6&version=NLT
Certainly, when they received the baptism in the spirit, others thought these manifestations were drunkenness on wine.
v.13 "But others in the crowd ridiculed them, saying, 'They’re just drunk, that’s all!'" So at least twice, the Bible has draws close parallels and contrasts between certain manifestations of the Holy Spirit and alcoholic drunkenness.
Regarding uncontrollable laughter, joy is commanded multiple times in the Bible. Uncontrollable laughter is most certainly one example of joy.
This being said, I'm not sure "drunk in the spirit" is the best term for manifestations similar to the definition in the question, nor that all of them are strongly supported by the Bible.
