Sorry I got late.
Nothing unusual for us to see the effects of drinking alcohol and its after effects, and at least we know these effects have been known for centuries.
Some of the remarkable comments in Qur'an-el-majeed:
S. Waqiah (56th) Aya 18 and 19
باکواب وا اباریق وا کاس میں معین - لا یصدعون عنھا ولا ینزفون-
"With goblets (shining) beakers and cups (filled) out of clear-flowing fountains
No after-ache will they receive therefrom nor will they suffer intoxication"(Yusuf Ali)
"With goblets and ewers and cups filled with water from unsullied springs, by which their minds will not be clouded and which will not make them drunk" (Muhammad Asad)
شراب چشمہءجاری سے لبریز پیالے اور کنٹر اور ساغر لیئے دوڑتے پھرتے ہونگے جسے پی کرنہ ان کا سرچکرائے گا نہ ان کی عقل میں فتور آئےگا
"(They will be hurrying around) with goblets and ewers and cups filled with drink from the everflowing spring drinking which will not make them dizzy nor will it make their minds cloudy" --Maudoodi)
(Mufti Muhammad Shafi's )آبخورےاور کوزے اور پیالہ نتھری شراب کا جس سے نہ سر دکھے نہ بلواس لگے
Goblets and ewers and cup of clear drink which causes neither headache nor nonsensical talk.
Note the differences in translations of the words یصدعون 'Yasdaoon' and ینزفون 'Yunzifoon', two effects of heavy drinking
Surah Nisaa (4th) and sura Hajj (22nd) the word for drunkun-ness used is 'sukara', as follows:
یا ایھا الذین آمنوا لا تقربا الصلواۃ و انتم سکاری احتی ا تعلموا ما تقولون۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔
"O ye who believe! approach not prayers in a state of intoxication, until ye understand all that ye say---"
و تری الناس سکاری ا، و ما ھم بسکاری ا ولاکنّ عذاب اللہ شدید
"Thou shall see mankind as in a drunken riot yet not drunk but dreadful will be the chastisement of Allah" (Yusuf Ali)
"Yasdaoon" carries the meaning of headache which M. Asad renders as cloudiness of mind (similar to meaning of 'sukara') and Maudoodi calls it diziness. Anyway in these verses the Qur.an mentions two or three well-recognised results of drinking hard liquer
1. headache or dizziness
2. C;oudiness of mind
3. Saying things that you dont understand
Headache is an "after-effect" (which is why Yusuf Ali calls it 'after-ache') that the Holywood movies have popularized so much and drunkenness or as they say one step forward and two steps backward, which is what kind of gait is described in S. Hajj "they will appear drunk but will not be drunk" because of the fear and awe of the day of Qiyamah. Lastly the "until you know what you are saying" type of talk/speech.
From a neurologist's point of view, the question of headache is interesting because I used to teach the residents and students about the "absence" of headache in the drunks they see in the ER, which sometimes if you ask the man he may oblige you with an unemotional answer "O yes I have headache" but will not volunteer that statement and even if he clearly denies headache the physician must continue to suspect a subdural hematoma the cardinal symptom of which is headache, missing which can be fatal.

Saugoree means I was born or I hail from Saugor This is the way they spelt the name of that city of my birth during British days of India. Then I moved at 11 years of age to Kotla a village in the Panjab close to the Kashmir border where I finished my initial education and childhood going on to Lahore for further studies where I got BSc and MBBS and then left for NWFP where I spent 2 1/2 years, teaching in the new Medical School, and from there leaving for UK and then USA
