    A Yeshiva buchor came up to me and told me that he thinks people who get drunk on Purim are missing the point. I heartily disagree with him and feel the ultimate simcha on Purim comes with drinking.

    The whole point of drinking on Purim is that you are supposed to be missing the point.

    If you want to follow halacha, you need to drink and possibly get drunk. If you want to be a new-age idealist Jew, than you do not drink and ridicule others for doing so and acting like meshugenehs. Take your pick.

    Then I would suggest not spending Purim with folks who choose the latter option. They can really kill the buzz…
