In fact, I find the deeper into God's presence I go, the more focused, intent, and sober I become. I disappear, as it were, from the world around me, sometimes as if in a trance. As God draws me in, the clarity increases. Utter silence, utter stillness.
These are the peaks experiences of my life.

Too be honest I don't quite understand the turn "drunk in the Spirit" and what it implies, but in my experience I've had what you just described. And there were other times that I did lose all control of myself, as in my mind is in one place, but I can't control my actions. Sometimes I will get so happy, be filled with so much joy, happiness and laughter, that nothing in this world compares.
There were other times when the spirit would take over me and I would just dance, being controlled of God, and not myself. It's just like speaking in tongues, where you have no control over your tongue, or the language you're speaking, but the spirit would speak through you.
