PBA – You make light of his post -by doing so you cause others to think he isn’t making any point. Whether his or your interpretation of that Gemorrah is correct -is irrelevant. His point is very true -if your drinking can come to a Sakanah, you don’t have that right to follow the D’Rabbon Chiuv of getting drunk. Now there are a lot of people including teenagers who won’t put themselves in Sakanah, but there are a lot that will nowadays. Every parent has to make sure that no kid will drink to that point. Some kids are responsble on their own not to drink that much. But a lot of kids need someone to watch them -not to get there. It could be the parents, members of the Hanhala of the kid’s yeshiva or other responsible adults. The problem isn’t with drinking on Purim, the problem is we don’t have a lot of responsible adults and children!
