Interesting that all the main faiths have prohibitions against drinking - I guess drunks don't make good disciples....
Or they interpret the water into wine bit too liberaly
Or are you losing your mind.
ntoxicants were forbidden in the Qur'an through several separate verses revealed at different times over a period of years. At first, it was forbidden for Muslims to attend to prayers while intoxicated (4:43). Then a later verse was revealed which said that alcohol contains some good and some evil, but the evil is greater than the good (2:219). This was the next step in turning people away from consumption of it. Finally, "intoxicants and games of chance" were called "abominations of Satan's handiwork," intended to turn people away from God and forget about prayer, and Muslims were ordered to abstain (5:90-91). (Note - the Qur'an is not arranged chronologically, so later verses of the book were not necessarily revealed after earlier verses.)

No. I'm just pointing out that none of them like drunks.
No, you are trying to turn the page.
From the Quiran's forbidding of drinking which Nox said was not so...
...into other things.
