Having said so, it is also noted, Qur'an acknowledge good / profit of "strong drink" , although it is MORE deterimental to mankind, hence the prohibition
2:219 They question thee about strong drink and games of chance. Say: In both is great sin, and (some) utility for men; but the sin of them is greater than their usefulness.

Muslims are not supposed to use alcohol but when I was in Aden they chewed a leaf called Qat all the time and this seemed to make their driving as bad as any drunk.
