Jewish Law
Question
Hello Rabbi,
Is one considered to have fulfilled the obligation to become intoxicated on Purim by smoking substances?
(Not according to the medieval authorities who hold that the commandment is fulfilled specifically with wine.)
Answer
I assume that it is no worse than sleeping. This obligation is not really a strict halakhic obligation, so this discussion is not really about whether one has fulfilled an obligation.
