The Entire Purpose of drinking wine, and all of the rectifications dependent upon it, is only if we do not break Jewish Law in even the slightest fashion, and do not cause pain or suffering to anyone else. You May Only Drink another Cup of Wine on the condition that you know and feel that you can handle it, and that it will only help you and not G-d Forbid the opposite!

This tikkun is ONLY through drinking WINE and not through any other alcoholic beverage. I Hereby Connect Myself, through drinking this wine, On this day of Purim, to all the true Tzaddikim in this generation, and to all the true Tzaddikim who have departed, “The Holy Ones who are in the earth” (and to Mordechai and to Esther), and in particular, to Our Holy Rebbe, Tzaddik, Foundation of the World, “Flowing Brook, Source of Wisdom,” Rebbe Nachman, the son of Faige from Breslev; may their merit protect us, and all of Israel.

The letter “Yud”(י) with the letter “Heh”(ה) and the letter “Vav”(ו ) with the letter “Heh”(ה), with a complete bonding, through the One that is completely hidden, in the name of all Israel.
