Does the prohibition on praying while drunk apply to Shema, or only to the Amidah?
Synopsis
The Rema explicitly states that Shema has the same law as the Amidah regarding intoxication. The Mishnah Berurah notes a minority view (Lebush, citing a leniency based on the Yerushalmi) that permits even a shikor to recite Shema, while the Gra argues strenuously that the Yerushalmi forbids it.
