Sam2: The beur halacha says what he says, and other poskim say what they say.
The beis yosef might say that in the beis yosef, but in his magnum opus, he say says you need to get blasted drunk.
Building a sukka also leads to injuries every year.
In any event, I have read that beur halacha, and who he is quoting on that. I think that what we did in my yeshiva is not hollelus and shtus. Maybe the people you know do hollelus and shtus (cheap shot).
