Question
Is there a significance to getting drunk on Purim night?
Answer
There is significance in drinking wine on Purim night, as the Rema writes to increase the meal even on Purim night, and increasing the meal includes drinking wine, thus there is a mitzvah to drink wine on Purim night. However, the obligation to get drunk [according to those who hold there is such an obligation] certainly applies only during the day.
