ZeesKite: St. Patricks day, is a day of drinking. I don’t see many drunk Irishmen after that. New Years is another time they drink, but again, not much after.
This is not something that is between Jews and goyim. There are many Jews who get drunk throughout the year. There are many goyim that get drunk throughout the year.
The problem is you are comparing Jews against Goyim and then saying “Me K’amcha Yisroel”. The comparison should never take place. Jews should NEVER get drunk. Purim is a time to drink and be happy, not drunk and lower oneself to the level of a goy even for one second! Drinking in Judaism is to elevate oneself to serve Hashem. Since being happy is very important, Jews drink a little on Shabbos and Yomtov. But if the drinking makes us like animals in the street, it is no way permissible.
