I strictly follow Shulchan Aruch L’shem Shamayim to get stone drunk on Purim.
I wonder if the people that DON’T get stone drunk are not getting drunk l’shem shamayim or they are simply afraid of fulfilling the obligation and mitzvah to get stone drunk and are thus looking for excuses and kulas to not get stone drunk.
If they would at least get plain drunk, even if it wasn’t stone drunk, I might be able to understand. But if they don’t get drunk AT ALL on Purim, they are likely just looking for an excuse to not fulfil their OBLIGATION and MITZVAH to get drunk.
