In the following sentence:
Stephano intoxicates Trinculo and Caliban.
To me, the wording is awkward. I would like to find alternatives to intoxicates in formal writing, but I cannot discern what to use in this case without using to be.

2You could easily say "Stephano gets Trinculo and Caliban drunk." And good luck with your paper on The Tempest.– RobustoOct 16, 2014 at 1:19

You could go for inebriates as well.

tr.v. in·e·bri·at·ed, in·e·bri·at·ing, in·e·bri·ates
- To make drunk; intoxicate.
- To exhilarate or stupefy as if with alcohol.
