Alcohol consumption can have wide-ranging physiological, psychological, social, and religious impacts. Physiologically, alcohol is a toxin that can damage organs like the liver and brain with both short and long-term use. Psychologically, alcoholism involves the powerful addiction, rationalization of use, and denial of problems. Religiously, most major faiths prohibit alcohol due to its intoxicating effects and role in sin. Socially, alcoholism can negatively impact individuals, families, and entire communities through issues like crime, health costs, and loss of productivity.

after answering the call of nature, or you have been in contact with women (by sexual

therewith your faces and hands (Tayammum) . Truly, Allah is Ever Oft-Pardoning, Oft-
Forgiving
