The basic rule is to get "so drunk so you can't tell the difference between Mordechai and H*man" so yes, you're supposed to get drunk but aren't allowed if
1. you are underage
2. you have health problems
3. you'll get sick

It is customary to hold carnival-like celebrations on Purim, to perform plays and parodies, and to hold beauty contests. I have heard that the usual prohibitions against cross-dressing are lifted during this holiday, but I am not certain about that. Americans sometimes refer to Purim as the Jewish Mardi Gras.

I don't know what Purim is but my answer would be- Yeah, why not? Just don't get too drunk or drink & drive! :)
