Intoxicated doesn't always mean inhebriated, it just means that that the shark was poisoned.

to affect temporarily with diminished physical and mental control by means of alcoholic liquor, a drug, or another substance, esp. to excite or stupefy with liquor.
Indeed it's main use refers to alcohol, but the shark could have eaten some bad fish, or eaten something horrible, dumped by humans, a bad plant, been stung or peirced by another deepsea creature...but
consider that literally when you drink you're poisoning yourself and you can die if you injest enough.

So as interesting a thought it is to think a shark would be partyin' it up on the sea floor; I have my serious doubts.
