popa: DY: Mistama that is talking about if you won’t be shikruso shel lot.
I think you missed his point. His point is that it’s better not to get drunk at all, even if you are only gonna miss ma’ariv. Yes, once you are drunk, you can be pattur, but it will still be assur for getting drunk lekatchila.
Josh: I really cannot believe there are any reliable sources for drinking like him, and at 12 units or more you have joined him.
I have heard that the zohar or some kabbalists hold that you should drink till you pass out.
Anyone have the source for this?
