@simcha613, the Mishna Berura does NOT say that. He says “וכן ראוי לעשות” and it’s going on the words of the Rema “וישן ומתוך שישן וכולהו” He’s saying for those who wish not to drink so much, then it’s proper for those people to sleep a little. No where does he say this is the mitzva min hamuvchar. The Rema say “ein tzarich” meaning it’s a way out for those that can’t.
Gedolim do get drunk on Purim, but they have complete shlita that not everyone notices.
