An obligation to get drunk?

The Talmud teaches that one is required to get drunk on Purim until one cannot distinguish between “cursed is Haman and blessed is Mordechai”. The reason for this requirement is in order to recall the many miracles of the Purim story that actually occurred during the course of wine parties, such as Vashti’s downfall, Esther’s rise to royalty, and Haman’s execution.
