The holy verse sokr/intoxication has been considered to be as one of the verses about wine sanction. Undoubtedly, sanction of wine was occurred during revelation of different verses but this claim that this verse refers to one of the stages of sanction of wine enjoys no scientific support. The literal meaning of sokr is not limited to intoxication by wine because its root means preventing and stopping the natural flow of wind and heat that naturally hindrance of thinking because of wine is one of the related consequences. The reliable narrations stated about this holy verse imply abomination, boredom, nap, and sleeping at the time of daily prayer. On the other hand, the revelations related to drinking wine by great companions in some of the commentaries are not reliable. Therefore, this holy verse referring to different types of drunkenness and drowsiness such as drunkenness by wine and drowsiness by nap and considering it within the set of wine sanction verses is a deep and suspected matter.
