Alcohol is forbidden for Muslims to consume in all forms whether as a drink or in food, as it is an intoxicant and has the capability, if taken in more than small quantities, to cloud the mind. Alcohol could affect a Muslim's relationship with God as well as possibly causing health and social problems if taken excessively, therefore it is prohibited altogether.
Regarding Alcohol - The Holy Quraan states: "They ask Thee concerning Wine and Gambling, Say: In them is great sin, and some profit, for men; but the sin is greater than the profit." (Surah Al-Baqarah:219)
The Arabic word used in this text is Khamr which is applied to all intoxicating liquor or drug.
The Quraan further states in Surah Al-Maaidah verse 90: "O Ye who believe! Intoxicants and Gambling, Sacrificing to Stones, and (divination by) Arrows, are an abomination, of Satan's handiwork; Keep away from such, that Ye may prosper."
