Drunken Birkat HaMazon [The Jewish Drinking Show episode #167]

The Jewish Drinking Show

Introduction
While exploring drunkenness in the Talmud Yerushalmi in episode #163 of The Jewish Drinking Show, it was fascinating to read that blessing the birkat hamazon might be problematic. As such, the 167th episode of The Jewish Drinking Show explores an historical overview of halakhic writings on the topic of blessing birkat hamazon while drunk.
