Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) beat (the offender) with a stick and shoes for drinking alcohol, and Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) administered forty lashes.

Hazrat Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I would not like to inflict such a punishment on anyone in enforcing a hadd (prescribed punishment) that he dies and then I feel regret over it, except for the drunkard; if he dies, I will pay his blood money, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not prescribe any fixed hadd for him.
