If I may interject, why should Simchas Torah be different from any other day?

Are we to refrain from drinking alcohol on this particular day in order to show that our simcha is really coming from learning Torah? Are we afraid that by drinking, it might show that our simcha really has nothing to do with Torah at all, and therefore we should avoid it?

If not (and I have never heard anyone say that this is the case), then Simchas Torah should be no different from any other day of the year (except Purim) when it comes to drinking.
