Reply To: To Drink or Not to Drink?

oomis: with all due respect, you are not to decide whether a mitzva no longer applies. the mitzva of “chayav inish libisumei etc” definitely is still a mitzva even though you dont like it or feel the yeshiva guys next to you are not performing it correctly.

“The boys think they are very cool when they are drinking, and that is their motivation, not the fulfillment of a mitzvah.” please dont assume that. be dan lekav zchus as we are required to be. the ages 16 to 21 really isnt a big difference when it comes to drinking, except experience. the age 21 doesnt make sense anyway, when everything else is 18.
