(1v13) 'Therefore Eli took her to be a drunken woman'
Here we see an example of being drunk with the Spirit, rather than drunk with wine. Hannah's 'drunkenness' is exhibited by silent-but-coherent prayer to the Lord. There was no loss of self-control, but a 'pouring out' of her soul that leads to an answer to her petition. It was after this 'pouring out of the soul' that 'her face was no longer sad' (1v18).
