Yahya related to me from Malik from Thawr ibn Zayd ad-Dili that
Umar ibn al-Khattab asked advice about a man drinking wine. Ali ibn
Abi Talib said to him, "We think that you flog him for it with eighty
lashes. Because when he drinks, he becomes intoxicated, and when he
becomes intoxicated, he talks confusedly, and when he talks
confusedly, he lies." (80 lashes is the same amount as for slandering)
Umar gave eighty lashes for drinking wine.
