you don’t have to be transfixed to see something and not be able to get it out of your head. Simchas torah last year, while waiting for some people outside shul, i was unlucly enough to see some man emptying the contents of his stomach. I quickly turned away and crossed the street, unfortunately still had to hear him as he continued retching, until some men helped him walk off. Disgusting scene haunts me- NO alcohol on simchas torah besides a cup of wine/grapejuice for kiddush as far as i’m concerned!!
