Also, I think that there is a “shita” that it better for boys to know that there is one day a year that they can get drunk, since this way they are less likely to be tempted to get drunk the rest of the year.
I don’t know if this “shita” is right or not, and others are entitled to feel differently. I don’t think there is a way to really prove definitively one way or another.
But, it certainly makes sense, and even if one disagrees, he should respect those that have this opinion and acknowledge that there is logic to it whether or not he agrees. Especially since it can’t be proven either way.
One of the main themes of Purim is achdus, so let’s start by respecting others and their opinions even when we disagree. Thank you for listening!
