Reply To: maybe we all should stop getting drunk on purim

I must say that the idea of drinking because Haman drank is poor reasoning. Some added that as a reason, or Netia, to prefer wine. We don’t eat Maror Ad Delo Yada, and not even Matza. And as I said, quoting the Rambam about drinking in general is as relavent as quoting him about working, and then applying it to Shabbos. After all, when he extolls the merit of working he doesn’t exclude Shabbos. (Maybe the bible critics will give us another Rambam.)
