Reply To: Any heter to not get drunk on Purim?

Listen, I didn’t come here for a cut and paste job of dissenting opinions or a headcount game of who can find more opinions for their favorite psak. As I said, my posek paskens strictly in accordance with Shulchan Aruch, Rama and Mishna Brura. Not only is this, getting drunk on Purim, the standard normative default halacha from Shulchan Aruch and Rama but, moreso, it is the absolute ruling of my posek. I cannot and will not chas v’shalom challenge my posek.

I need to know if despite my obligation to get drunk if my unique circumstance may, perhaps, allow me a heter to tone down slightly the quantity so that I might not reach the halachic standard of ad dlo yoda.

Until I can have any confidence there is such a heter I am most obliged to follow my posek’s halachic ruling.

L’Chaim!
