oRead Acts 2:5-21. 2:13: "they are full of new wine."

It is interesting that the disciples should be confused with drunks, especially in light of Eph. 5:18.  The similarities between wine and the Holy Spirit are many.  Both influence the mind, the mouth, the walk, the outlook.  Both produce a "lifestyle" vastly different than when we are without wine or the Spirit.  And that is the point here: the crowds saw something they could not explain, but rather than relate it to God preferred to relate it to wine.  The life produced by the Spirit defies a normal explanation.
