yummy: No, it isn’t really better. You cannot sit and say that people who interpret the shulchan aruch and other poskim who say to get totally drunk are backwards. You are simply incorrect–it is exactly what they meant.
And it is not relevant what the kitzur shulchan aruch says, because I am not trying to convince you that we paskin to get drunk–just that it is a completely valid opinion in the poskim.
I am aware of the poskim who say to not get drunk. And you could also sit down and read poskim who say you should get drunk.
You cannot sit and choose between poskim and call some “backwards”. The shulchan aruch interpreted chazal to mean that we should get drunk. He was not backwards. You can ask your rav how he paskins, but you cannot call the other opinion backwards. That is not legitimate.
