[Avodah] Who drinks the Four Cups?

JJB

"In short: the Bavli and Yerushalmi have different views as to whether only
the leader drinks, or everybody drinks, based on different baraitot and 
memras present in one or the other Talmud"

Tangentially:
Iirc it is R Yehoshua ben Levi that spices up at least several controversial points left ambiguous by the mishnah itself namely:

1 that we read megillas esthert @ night (the mishnah implies day only as per yom haknissa)

2 that women because of af hein hayi b'oso haneis therefore they:
A* read megilas esther
B drink 4 cups
C light Hanukkah

A*  note behag's girsa is for women to hear the reading of the megillah
And as per Tosafos a Tosefta contradicts RYBL in this case only
