Surah 4:43 O you who believe! Draw not near to prayer when you are drunken, till you know that which you utter..

This doesn’t imply alcohol is forbidden.

I’ve read it as Strong drink. Although I agree you are best staying away from all but is having 2 glasses of wine at the weekend the same as a few whiskies,Gins,Vodkas etc. Also in Surah 2:219 it says there is some utility for men.

A very profound discussion on comparitive religions.From prophet Adam down to the last prophet Mohammed on whom be peace..the common thread of man's humanity to man is the theme.Claire I admire your search however u may discover more in Islam such that

rules and regulations have contextual roots.

Belief is a total process and a piecemeal approach may be paradoxical.Thx u guys for an interesting critical thinking execise.
