The Chidushei Harim explains with a mashel, a parable the purpose for drinking. A person collected money for an aveira . When he saw a poor family struggling, forgot about the aveira and gave the money to them. Above, where very impressed with his actions saying that all his wishes will be granted but being afraid that he will ask for something they cannot grant. they. decreed that his whole life should be a drunk. Similarly, Purim is a time when one’s wishes are granted, one is commanded to drink such that one’s mind should not be clear.
