1866. Āishah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Every intoxicant is unlawful. Whatever a Faraq[1] of it intoxicates, then a handful of it is unlawful." (Hasan)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] One of them said in his Hadith: "A sip of it is unlawful."
[He said:] This Hadith is Hasan. Laith bin Abī Sulaim and Ar-Rabī' bin Šabīh reported similar to the narration of Mahdī bin Maimūn from Abū 'Uthmān Al-Anšārī. Abū 'Uthmān Al-Anšārī's (a narrator in this chain) name is 'Amr bin Sālim, and they say: "Umar bin Sālim" [as well].
[1] " 'Faraq' is a measurement weighing about sixteen Raṭl, and they say it is 'Faraq' which is one hundred and twenty Raṭl." (Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi). Today's Raṭl is anywhere between 500 plus grams, to 3 plus kilograms.

Commentary
The Hadīth confirms that regardless of whether a small quantity of an intoxicant does or does not intoxicate it is unlawful to consume it.
