but suffice it to say that getting blind drunk on Purim is not what the Chachomim had in mind.

Actually, it does not suffice to say that. The gemara, rishonim, shulchan aruch, etc. say that it is a mitzva to get blind drunk. In fact, the example brought by the gemara is of an amorah who killed his friend in his blind drunkenness.

Your opinion is backed by some poskim, but not by the pashtus nor by the majority. It does not suffice to “say” it.
