First, the words livsumi means to exude a nice fragrance, meaning to be a bit happier. Where do you see the words completely smashed in the gemara? Second, the gemara right afterward says that one amora got drunk and stabbed another amora. The next year they discontinued the practice, since it could be pikuach nefesh.
So any possibility of pikuach nefesh means we shouldn’t drink. Bezman hazeh, we are told by big Rabbonim that many get into trouble, so obviously there is no chiyuv. If one can be yotzei according to the Rama with a bit of extra wine and a nap, who is it who takes it upon himself to be frummer than the Rama.
Especially when it leads to all kinds of chilulei hashem and nezek. It is purely the yetzer hara that imagines it is a mitzvah to drink to that extent. Believe me, if anybody is afraid of getting punished by the RBSH for not drinking, I will personally vouch for them upstairs.
It is amazing what the yetzer hara will do and how it will twist an aveira into a mitzvah.
