Whoa! Firstly, stating that it’s acceptable to get drunk is disgusting, and is NOT at all what Purim or anything in Torah is about. You are relegating Purim to be a zman when boundaries are lifted, as if we feel some internal pressure to get bombed, but suppress it because it’s not nice. Come Purim, these limitations are lifted. Sorry, but you will find a real difficulty in finding a single talmid chochom who can condone such an attitude as consistent with Torah value. Drunkeness is called to’eyva by the Rambam, and he states that any avodas Hashem done in a drunken state is not only not a mitzvah, but is to’eyva. Teens will be teens, and they can be expected to do some really stupid things. But when these actions involve risk and danger, there is no heter to dismiss it as teens will be teens. And it is far worse to suggest they are performing a mitzvah. Yecccchhhh!
