As Wolf said:

“Its a mitzvah to be as drunk as possible on Purim.

Completely and utterly false.

Even if you subscribe to the opinion that one should get drunk on Purim, it’s only to the point of ad d’lo yada.

There is no mitzvah to keep drinking to the point of getting physically sick or being unable to stand or perform any of the other mitzvos that need to be performed (such as davening Ma’ariv, for example).

I am proud of the fact that I have never been drunk in my life — and that includes Purim.

The Wolf”

I only repeat and quote this. I completely stand behind this and fully agree with it. Also never been drunk in my life, and never intending to be.
