Question
According to the ruling that for fulfilling the mitzvah of simcha (rejoicing) there is no obligation to drink specifically a revi'it (a quarter-log) of wine, but rather to drink as much as brings one joy – is the intention to be lenient, that it is sufficient to drink a small amount of wine in order to rejoice, or to be stringent, that one must drink several cups and become more inebriated?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
A small amount is sufficient in order to bring joy.
There is no need to get intoxicated on the festivals.
