The Purim Feast
A person is obligated to drink at Purim until he doesn't know the difference between 'cursed is Homon' and 'blessed is Mordechai'. Talmud, Tractate Megila, 7b.

What does this mean? 1. Is there a difference between 'cursed is Homon' and 'blessed is Mordechai'? If so, why should the distinction be blurred? If there is not a distinction between them, why does a person have to drink? 2. Is there any 'mitzva' to indulge in alcohol in order to loose one's intelligent faculties? If sechel is important, why would there be a mitzva to loose it?
