When you follow Quran alone

From your link
"Several alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages have been investigated with regard to their possible effects on the body antioxidant system. It has been reported that red wine is more active as an antioxidant than either white wine or grape juice, and that ethyl alcohol fails to show any protective effect in this regard, suggesting that the antioxidant activity of the red wine does not arise from its alcohol content."
So you are saying to use a non-alcoholic red wine?
I think you can read clearly for yourself what the best options are.

khamrun can also mean intoxication. That is the word used in 2219 and 520, whereas sakar only means alcoholic drink, that is the word used in 1667. Just to let you know most alcoholic drinks have their alcohol content enhanced in order for people to get drunk and that is why most drink it. However natural fermentation which produces alchohol from yeast also produces alot of b vitamins and enchances the nutrition of the fermented foods. Also alcohol can enhance the potency of herbs by bringin out their oil based chemical constituents. So let me say that you can drink without getting drunk if the product has a moderate level of alchohol in it and that can easily be done. Traditional African millet beer for instance is a think almost porridge like drink that is alcoholic but you have to drink a whole lot of it to get drunk and if you do that that means you were trying to get drunk. And that is the act of satan, drunkeness. But if you drink sakar make sure it is a whole food or purely medicinal offering your body nutrition or medicine. But if you drink distilled liquors or processed, patuerized beers or wines with the alcohol content intentionally hopped up (they breed yeast with high alcohol resistence and add extra sugar to the grape juice that the yeast will turn into alchohol) well then your out to get drunk or atleast poison body, which is also sin. God told us to eat of the tayyibaat, and that does not include worthless consumables, distilled liquor and most store bough alcohols included.
In the old days it was a easily preserved, nutritious food (and you had to be careful about how much you consumed), now it is an abused drug. An escape for many. Just like the difference between the coca leaf and cocaine.

Isn't alcohol not allowed in Islam? Then what about the good? "good nourishment"
If something is both good and bad shouldn't it be a personal choice?
One should look at the issue behind alcohol and Islam. Its not a clear cut case, even though we have Quran facists here trying to make out it is such.
