stuck -“Ad Dlo Yoda is a very high point of intoxication.”
This is something you made up, but has no basis to it. I have no opinion in the argument here. But I do think that it’s disgusting to throw up in public. That said – I do get drunk or high every year. I remember many moons ago when I was in high school a Rebbe told us, esp. since kids tend to over drink, that you aren’t a Mentch if you don’t carry a plastic bag with you on Purim. His words still ring true today.
As a matter of fact -it can’t be Ad Dlo Yoda is very high because at a certain point drinking becomes a Sakana. Chazal would never make a Chiyuv that comes close to a Sakana!
You want to get drunk -fine – I do. But you want to drink and act like a Behaima & vomit all over the place & blame the Halacha -this doesn’t wash. Yes, when I was a kid there where a few of these -nowadays it seems there are a lot more. Maybe because the Frum community has grown by leaps and bounds – so it seems more.
YC is right and you need to apologize.
