it has to do with our knowledge of the world changing. I could bring dozens of examples for things like that.

You mean like Metzitzah B’peh? 😉

I meant things which we are machmir because we no longer understand the world well enough to differentiate between things. Like that we are not ?????? ??? ???? ????, or when matza is mixed well enough that it has no flour left in it, etc.

Not things like that we know pigs can be eaten safely, so we can eat pigs now and not do metzitza b’peh.

Just curious, if you get so drunk, what do you do about Davening Ma’ariv and Bentsching after the Se’uda?

Same thing chazal intended, and the mechaber intended, and gedolim and yirei Hashem did for thousands of years: I bentch and daven drunk.

The story of Rav Yisroel continues, that when they klopped for borchu, he got up from under the table, and was able to control himself such that he was normal again. But mistama his talmidim weren’t.
