About drinking at night.

There’s another Mekor right in the begining of Otzar HaMedrashim (eisentien) there is a detailed story about a Gaon Rav Meir (Rav Chaim Kanievsky states the MEdrash is referring to the Gaon and not the Tanna)that occured when he got drunk Purim Night.

However I am not trying to discuss the Halachic Aspect.

I would think that all reasonable people are certainly cognizant of the Fact the Purim is the one time where there is a real and actual Halachic basis that demands drunkeness.

How that plays out in actuality( meaning whether we are noheig like that) is not the point.

My queastion is why the focus on Purim?

Why the repeated articles from people seemingly ignoring basic Gemorahs?

And why are these same people quiet the whole year around?
