So here's an article about why we're supposed to drink ourselves stupid on Purim.
C and I drank ourselves toasty at our synagogue's 21+ Purimshpil last night, but not to the point of embarrassment. Yes, drinking is a mitzvah, but still, we have to be welcome back there.
One of our fifty-something friends did come wandering up to us near the end of the night, asked if someone nearby was someone else (there was a slight resemblance between the individuals in question, but not THAT much) and then declared that he was in no way responsible for anything he said.
"What did they put in YOUR drink?" we asked.
"I don't know, but whatever it was, it's pretty good!" he said.
We think he doesn't normally drink much. We made sure somebody else was driving him and his entourage home.
