Question
I am a girl, do I have a mitzvah or obligation to get drunk on Purim?
Answer
For Sephardim, there is a mitzvah to get drunk, while for Ashkenazim, there is a mitzvah to drink a little and go to sleep. However, for girls, there is no mitzvah to drink, and it is also not appropriate, as it does not align with their spiritual world and role in the world.
