ujm,
“there’s a chiyuv to get stone drunk on Purim?”
What does stone drunk mean? Throwing up? Needing to go to the ER for alcohol poisoning? Passing out and missing maariv? Missing shacharis the next morning because of a hangover?

“this year you can’t fulfil it on Stoli from moris ayn.”
You can’t fulfill it on hard liquor any year. We drink wine, as wine was involved in our salvation. Esther did not invite Achashveirosh to a vodka party.
Syag Lchochma,
“and your attempts to be extreme for it’s own sake continue”
He’s not trying to be extreme. He had a bit much to drink one Purim and couldn’t tell the difference between Hebrew letters and Greek, so he inadvertently spent 20 years learning in a college fraternity house thinking it was Yeshiva.
