To the RoshYeshivah: It’s true that people got drunk 100 years ago. And if you read the bio of Rav Schwadron you can see just how chashuve some of the people who got buzzed were. The problem is, and this is true of Purim too, is that kids and others drink with no role models of how it should be done appropriately (and it’s up for debate if Simchas Torah is the appropriate time other than a reviis of wine lekavod yom tov).
