To drink or not to drink? (On Purim)

What do you think about drinking alcohol on purim? Good or bad?
Do you agree with the School rule of no alcohol?

I never get into these things... they are very grey areas... some rabbeim say yes to it some say no....
You definitley should'nt get crazy drunk and act like a freak especially if your a bad drunk

Last year in israel a kid in my yeshivah (who got drunk like every other night...) was a horrible drunk... so on purim, when we went to my Rabbi's house, he cursed out my rebbe and told him he wanted his tuition money back because my rebbe had a nice house and we had garbage apartements
he really went crazy and started breaking things in the house and he tried TAKING MY REBBE DOWN TO THE GROUND AND BEATING THE !#?! OUT OF HIM!!!! we had to hold him down...


Thanks god my rebbe was also drunk so he didnt really recall that purim night....
hehe... he probabaly woke up next day and wondered why his house was in ruins....

This year purim is on friday so I dont see it getting crazy...
Some kids do it with a mature mind some dont...
the ones who are mature usually come out with no problems..

I have an excellent shiur by Rabbi Orlofsky you should listen to if you are considering drinking on Purim. It provides excellent "food-for thought" on the matter. yosef mitzrayim and purim.mp3 - 58.94MB
