We all know someone who is drunk can do things beyond human behaviors such as murder, drive fast, make noise or do something embarrassing like the hadith of the Prophet who says: "Alcohol is the mother of all sins, and it is the most shameful sins." (History Ibn Majah).

Similarly, its use in small amounts as a flavoring in food or remain illegal, although not so intoxicated as the Prophet Muhammad have said "What's intoxicating in large quantities, it is forbidden even in small amounts."
