I generally only drink good wines nothing cheap. I also try not to get drunk to the point where my kishkes want to come out. Too old for that and I hate the feeling.
if you learn like the brisker rav, maybe try to drink the most the fastest, and get drunk the quickest. i guess the shailah is if the mitzva is the drinking till ad dilo yada, or being in a matziv of ad dilo yada. if the shtiyah isnt only a heichee timtza then the above might be true, crazy as it sounds.
But the same passage goes on to report that Rabba and Rav Zeira became drunk on Purim, so much so that Rabba slaughtered Rav Zeira with a knife. The latter was revived only by a miracle. When Rabba invited Rav Zeira to a Purim celebration the following year, Rav Zeira wisely declined.
@yageir there is a machlokes in the meforshim and the poskim how to read that gemora (and what the conclusion of the gemora is) – i am not sure why you are calling one “correct”. In fact the gemora says that Rabba wanted to do the same the next year!
@WIY never knew hating the feeling had anything to with being old
