1862. ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Whoever drinks Khamr, Ṣalāt is not accepted from him for forty days. If he repents, then Allāh will accept his repentance. If he returns to it, then Allāh will not accept his Ṣalāt for forty days. If he repents, then Allāh will accept his repentance. If he returns to it, then Allāh will not accept his Ṣalāt for forty days. If he repents, then Allāh will accept his repentance. If he returns to it a fourth time, Allāh will not accept his Ṣalāt for forty days, and if he were to repent, Allāh would not accept his repentance, and he will be given to drink from the river of Al-Khabāl.” They said: “O Abū ‘Abdur-Raḥmān! What is the river of Al-Khabāl?” He said: “A river of the pus from the inhabitants of the Fire.” (Da’if)
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan. Similar to this has been reported from ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Amr and Ibn ‘Abbās from the Prophet ﷺ.

Commentary
Liquor (wine) is so harmful a substance that it takes away the drinker's faculty
of thinking or reason for a while. And reason (or intellect) is a faculty that enables man to recognize his Master and Creator. And it is because of this faculty that man has been made accountable before Allāh and 'preferred them to many of those whom We have created with a marked preferment. (Sūrat Al-Īsrā' 17:70).
