From what I understand is ingesting high amounts of sugar alcohols can lead to various effects such as abdominal pain and diarrhea, my question is, is there a certain amount of sugar alcohol if ingested cause drunkenness (even if it causes a person to be in a critical state or death) ?

Sugar alcohols are only partially absorbed. It is very unlikely anyone will become intoxicated with sugar alcohols. Also, their effects are less likely to cause intoxications.
