In People v. Weaver (188 App Div 395 [3d Dept 1919]), the Court resorted to the Century Dictionary for the meaning of the word "intoxication." It found the term to be defined as: "The state produced by drinking too much of an alcoholic liquor." Id. at 399.) Other definitions, according to the Court, referred to "any mental exhilaration . . . produced by alcohol." (Id.) The Court then proceeded to give the word "intoxication" "a reasonable interpretation having reference to the purpose of the statute in which it is used," and concluded that under Highway Law 290 (3) , "the meaning of the term clearly is that one shall not be affected by alcoholic beverage to such an extent as to impair his judgment or his ability to operate an automobile." Id. at 400.)
