The questioner : Okay, some people, perhaps a few, consume, for example, gasoline and get intoxicated. Does this result in the prohibition of purchasing gasoline?

The questioner : It is a type of intoxication, meaning.
The Shaykh : No, you agreed with what I said, and then we will hold you accountable for your statement that it is a type of intoxication.
The questioner : By Allah, we may differ on the type of intoxication...
The Shaykh : So, stay here. How many types of intoxication are there?
The questioner : Intoxication is what that removes the mind, meaning.
