Salaam everyone,
The Noble Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless and greet him, said:- "ALLAH HAS CURSED WINE, AND WHOEVER DRINKS IT, WHOEVER POURS IT, WHOEVER SELLS IT, WHOEVER BUYS IT, WHOEVER PRESSES (distils)IT FOR ANOTHER, WHOEVER PRESSES IT FOR HIMSELF, WHOEVER CARRIES (transports) IT, WHOEVER ACCEPTS ITS DELIVERY, OR WHOEVER EATS (benefits from) ITS PRICE (sale)." [Abu Dawud, Al-Hakim].

It is so important that we note that it isn't just the consumption of alcohol that is haram (prohibited). Allah, Most High, in His Infinite Wisdom, cuts off evil at its roots. Hence all those have been warned of destruction who play any role in the spread of this social evil, namely:-

1. Drinker/consumer of alcohol.
2. The one who serves it for another to drink.
3. The one who sells it.
4. The one who purchases it, regardless of who it is for
5. The one involved in its production and transportation, and
6. The one who financially benefits from sale of alcohol

Alcohol and indeed all intoxicating drinks or substances are haram in Islam, in its large or smallest quantities. So, beware, O Brothers and Sisters.
Best Wishes.
