I drank clear and transparent wine, and when I drink, I spill my wealth. But my honor remains intact.

That is why the Holy Quran did not deny the benefits of alcohol and gambling, but rather said:
"And the sin of both of them is greater than their benefit."

They would immediately become enraged and at the slightest hint of humiliation and insult, they would take up swords and spears and wage a very bloody war. They did not care at all about their lives in this path.
