People don't get drunk by drinking one glass per week; they get drunk by constantly drinking to the point where they never sober up. In the same way, Believers cannot get drunk in the Spirit if they only drink of the Spirit once a week - not even by drinking two times a week. Getting drunk is a direct result of constantly "be being filled" with the Spirit. Read Ephesians 5:15-21(NASB) for the "filling of the Spirit" passage in it's raw context:
15
Therefore,
[j]be careful how you walk,
not as unwise men but as
wise,
16 [k]making
the most of your time,
because the days are evil.
17 So then do
not be foolish,
but understand what the will of the Lord is.
18 And do not get drunk with wine,
[l]for that is dissipation,
but be filled with the Spirit,
19 speaking to [m]one another
in
psalms and
hymns and
spiritual songs,
singing and
making melody with your heart to the
Lord;
20 always giving thanks for all things in the name
of our Lord Jesus Christ to [n]God, even
the Father;
