Question

Is it permitted or required to become intoxicated on Purim? 

Answer

For Ashkenazim, it is not required to become intoxicated on Purim.

Even for Sephardim, who are required to become intoxicated on Purim, it is not required if it would result in missing any blessing, prayer, or commandment from the Torah.
