Nitpicking, but tell that to the asphyxiophilia crowd.

I'd argue that the intoxicating part of asphyxiation is the rush from the reintroduction of oxygen, more so than the suffocation itself. Though there's also something to be said for the adrenaline rush of your body thinking its dying.
You probably also enjoy a lot of "chemicals" that are mind-altering or intoxicating without realizing it, unless you're very strict about your diet indeed. Casomorphins are delicious, you see, and can life without chocolate really be said to be enjoyable? Better skip fruit juice and bread, as well, given that they certainly include a percentage of alcohol and fermentation byproducts.
