Hopefully, this year, we will see a bit less of the mindless equivalence of “Simcha” with “inebriation” . All the leaders of Hatazalah organizations here and in EY have made clear that the “marbin” some invoke to drink excessively in the days leading up to Purim and especially on Purim itself sets up tragic outcomes. Fortunately, more rabbonim each year take clear and unequivocal stands against the “adsheloyadah syndrome” and admonish their talmidim to strictly limit their intake. Lets hope this year there will be more responsibility exercised along with Simcha machers.
