To little I know: According to most Rishomin, they learn that one must get drunk. They all argue about the amount. ONE Rishon, Rabbinue Efraim, says that is forbidden. However, we don’t hold like him. The S”A holds literally Ad Dlo Yada and the Rama mentions the more lenient pasak. However, he ends off with “whatever you have a LOT or a little as long as you intend for kovad Shmayim”. It is clear that the Rama is saying that there is a mitzah to get smashed on purim. You can’t complain on being get drunk. You can only complain against the people who are only fulfilling the first part of his statement and not the second half.
