Acts 2:13 (New Living Translation)

But others in the crowd ridiculed them, saying, “They’re just drunk, that’s all!”

Combine this verse with this phrase from verse 7:

These people are all from Galilee

Why of course. People from Galilee are always drunk in the middle of the morning. They must be the 33 A.D. equivalent of fill-in-the-blank-with-your-favorite-group-from-a-geographic-area-to-denigrate.

Funny how the cosmopolitan of the day viewed Galilee. Recall that most of the close followers of Jesus and Jesus himself were from that region.
