No, I think mhubby would be far better.

i don’t think so

By the way, was ‘Once killed a Mountain Lion with his bare hands’ before or after your bochurish days?

what about during, it’s during my bachurish days

Chayav, as i mentioned before look in the piskei teshuva, it has a whole piece on it

:p> mbachur <d:

PS can anyone please cite the source that it is a mitzvah (from the word tzavaah meaning commandment)? You have what may be at best a d’rabbanan. Im not sure of even that.

it is mentioned as a chiyuv in the gemara so i guess that makes it a dirabbanan and there are halachas about it, and we give importance to dirabanans like dioraysah

you should take note in do way would anyone advocate getting plastered or even dangerous drinking, one gives his wife the keys and doesn’t overdo it

A chilled 2010 Eau de Javel Blanc de Blancs is one of the best wines for the Purim seudah. It is sold in white jugs and is very inexpensive. Strength is 5.25 – 6.5%

iyhbyu: White wine is lighter than red wine, which is why you may find it easier to swallow.

Normally white wine is served with fish whereas red wine is served with red meat.

As for a good wine to be mekayeim the mitzva on purim, try Chateuneuff (however you spell it). Its white not too sweet and not too dry. Be aware, that whatever you get too drunk on,you wont be able to look at again!! .

thank you ill keep it in mind too

I have never understood why this “mitzvah” inspires so many to be mekayem it so diligently

the gemara (i don’t remember where, maybe someone can help me out) says a mitzvah taken on b’simcha stays with yiddishkeit forever

:p> mbachur <d:

There is a reason rav zeira wouldn’t go back the next year

thats true yossi, it’s because Rava wold get drunk again

and it isn’t such a simple gemarrah and there is a lot of explanations and such going on there. Sorry even if it would be a proof it wouldn’t be usable.

the classic answer when something doesn’t fit a person’s views (It’s not so pashut)

:p> mbachur <d:

the makor why it should be yayin: the mishte was of yayin; the gemara connects Purim & Pesach, arba kosos are yayin so too seudas Purim! may we all be zoche to simchas Purim

that’s true and like I said that’s why i think that too, but there are chashuva mattirim (if you want i’ll post it tomorrow)

:p> mbachur <d:

as far as drinking, the mitzvah is ONLY with yayin

i feel the same way, yet there are poskim that mater whiskey (look in piskei tshuva)

thank you aries! (i hope you’re feeling better btw)

my wife is my designated driver

I do throw up, but i try to minimize it (which is the reason why i want a good semi sweet wine, because the sugar is what makes you throw up (I tried semi-dry last year and it tasted horrible, so bad i couldn’t drink it so therefore i didn’t even get high)

oh and my kid is 17 months (I don’t think i’ll be making an example of anything)

:p> mbachur <d:

Oh, mbachur. My father drinks a mixture of Concord Grape and Cream Niagra.

I think those are sweet wines though (I want to get drunk not throw up)

Does that compensate for what I’ve done?

you didn’t do anything wrong, observateen, its a good topic to start and my wife totally agrees with you (and a lot of other wives i know) but we do it anyway and they concede in the end (I totally understand where you girls are coming from, and i wouldn’t want to be on the recieving end, and believe me if halcha didn’t say it I wouldn’t do it and hate it when bachurim get drunk at night or before the seudah b/c thenb theres no mitzvah to do it)
