add to that the people like Josh Milyahabadi who (its in his autobiography “yaadon kee barat”) quoted the ayat of Quran where it says that dont go to Namaz when intoxicated. He argued that it clearly shows that intoxication is not prohibited, but only offering prayers while intoxicated is.
See this is the reason why we need Scholars and Moulanas. They learn the quran with proper siyaq-o-sabaaq and know the history and reason of the revelation of each and every ayaat. You just cannot understand quran by reading translation.
