I don’t really understand this thread. The Rav Poskind that he shouldn’t shouldn’t get drunk. His wife doesn’t want him to get drunk so it should be simple that he should not get drunk. Why are people advising him to go against the ruling of his Rav?
Every year there are people that are rushed to the hospital for health related problems due to drinking too much, besides those who fall or get into other accidents. Is it worth it to risk your life and/or marriage just to drink on Purim?
While getting drunk MAYBE a Mitzvah the fact that your drunk and can’t daven and do other Mitzvahs far out weigh any benefit of getting drunk.
