Sahih al-Bukhari 6775 (Book 86, Hadith 4) #6517
Intoxication and its Punishment

SUMMARY: The Prophet was angry when he saw a man in a state of intoxication and ordered those present to beat him.

Narrated' 'Uqba bin Al-Harith: An-Nu'man or the son of An-Nu'man was brought to the Prophet in a state of intoxication. The Prophet felt it hard (was angry) and ordered all those who were present in the house, to beat him. And they beat him, using palm-leaf stalks and shoes, and I was among those who beat him.
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ أُتِيَ بِنُعَيْمَانَ أَوْ بِابْنِ نُعَيْمَانَ وَهْوَ سَكْرَانُ فَشَقَّ عَلَيْهِ، وَأَمَرَ مَنْ فِي الْبَيْتِ أَنْ يَضْرِبُوهُ، فَضَرَبُوهُ بِالْجَرِيدِ وَالنِّعَالِ، وَكُنْتُ فِيمَنْ ضَرَبَهُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet's reaction to seeing someone in a state of intoxication. He felt it was wrong and ordered those present to beat the person as punishment. This shows that the Prophet did not condone any kind of intoxication or drunkenness and believed it should be punished. It also teaches us that we should take responsibility for our actions and not do anything that goes against Islamic teachings. We should also strive to stay away from intoxicants as they can lead us astray from our faith.
