Drunk = Chillul Hashem.
Right. So this is the exact argument I am rejecting.
The gemara says to get “drunk”. Many poskim read this literally, including the shulchan aruch.
Rav Yisroel Salanter was seen on purim lying drunk under a table. (I heard this with the exact tracing of the story back to the Alter of Kelm. The end of the story is that as soon as they klopped “barchu”, he stood and acted completely sober.)
Even the shittos that hold that the gemara is bringing the story to show that you should not get drunk anymore, agree that previous to the story, you were supposed to get mind numbingly drunk. Otherwise, why were the amoraim doing it?
There are writings which discuss why G-d would want us to get drunk, and you can read them. I saw one in the back of the small sefer ???? ????????.
Now, we can discuss how to go about it, and what other considerations there are, and which shittos we paskin like.
But remember this. There are very valid shittos that you are chayav to get very very drunk. It does not behoove you to make light of them.
