Here you are three ayas which gradually increase the ban of any activity regarding alcohol and all intoxicating materials:

They ask thee concerning wine and gambling. Say: "In them is great sin, and some profit, for men; but the sin is greater than the profit. " They ask thee how much they are to spend; Say: "What is beyond your needs." Thus doth Allah Make clear to you His Signs: In order that ye may consider- (Quran 2:219)

In Islam “Khamr” means drink or material what cause state under influence. Alcohol is one of them but even drogs, narcotics and any material what prevents human to control his will is included to this group. However not the material is prohibited only but the status to be under external control. Gambling “Maisar” is game where the income does not depend on struggle or work. Fortune or luck can cause loss or benefit however the loss is bigger. E.g. both can result big income for those who sell them but both can harm families or the consumer himself.

O ye who believe! Approach not prayers with a mind befogged, until ye can understand all that ye say,- nor in a state of ceremonial impurity (Except when travelling on the road), until after washing your whole body. If ye are ill, or on a journey, or one of you cometh from offices of nature, or ye have been in contact with women, and ye find no water, then take for yourselves clean sand or earth, and rub therewith your faces and hands. For Allah doth blot out sins and forgive again and again. (Quran 4:43)

In Islam not solely alcohol is forbidden. “Al-Kohool” is an Arabic word and we cannot find it in the Quran. We find “Khamr” what is a fermented material which contains anything what can influence our control on ourselves. The other word “Sukara” which means stupor. Generally speaking the intoxicated status and stupor is forbidden.
In case there is no water and someone climbs up the highest and cleanest place where the sand is always clean, this sand can replace the water for ritual washing before prayer. This is called “Tayammum.” Consquently Tayammum cannot be implemented with ordinary soil where humus or rotten componets are present due to the organic matter content.

O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination,- of Satan's handwork: eschew such (abomination), that ye may prosper. (Quran 5:90)

In Islam not the alcohol is forbidden alone but anything what can block the control over our mind. Intoxication and the status of stupor is prohibited. Gambling is also the mean in the hand of Satan to lose control over ourselves and cause damage for ourselves, our family and society. “Ansab” is the stone-idol or fetish. It was an Arabic custom in the age of Jahiliya to scarify food for “Ansab” as if they were goddesses. “Azlam” were arrows to be used for game as gambling. The arrows were in a bag and if a particular arrow was taken out from this bag its owner won food or anything else. Food cannot represent subject of fortune. It comes as providence from Allah and we have to struggle for it by our physical and spiritual means.

Satan's plan is (but) to excite enmity and hatred between you, with intoxicants and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allah, and from prayer: will ye not then abstain? (Quran 5:91)

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) also warned his followers that participating in the alcohol trade is forbidden, cursing 10 people: "...the wine-presser, the one who has it pressed, the one who drinks it, the one who conveys it, the one to whom it is conveyed, the one who serves it, the one who sells it, the one who benefits from the price paid for it, the one who buys it, and the one for whom it is bought." For this reason, many Muslims will decline to work in positions where they must serve or sell alcohol.

I know the comments are coming that Muslims can drink if Allah does not see them or indoors or under the table ... and other nonsense. I also know that many Muslims drink. This does not change the fact: forbidden.
