Malach – do you know why on Simchas Torah the birkas Cohanim is in shachris and not the regular place in Mussaf?
Because a kohen that made kiddush on ONE cup of wine is considered shikkur and cannot duchan.
Multiply that by dalad kossos and you have very intoxicated kohen.
In gemara’s times they did not have Rashi Light wine. The wine was as strong as scotch. Yet women were michuyav in daled kossos and it was not shouted down as un-tznius or anti Torah. True there were no Pessach hotels but people did invite “kol dichfin” to the seder. It wasn’t just family…
-if your right then it still couldnt have been enough for ad delo yada since then needed to be seriously into the haggadah/seder and conducting it. they couldn’t have done it in a drunken state the way you see people on purim.
they were deffinitly better at those mitzvos than us and we don’t see any mention of women drinking on purim.
