Why does Islam forbid the consumption of intoxicants?

Allah Almighty has made man distinct from all other creatures by the faculty of mind. He has forbidden us from whatever could harm us, our minds, or our bodies. Thus, He has forbidden us from everything causing intoxication since it conceals and harms the mind and it leads to various types of corruption. The one who is drunk may kill others, commit adultery, steal, or commit any of such grave crimes that result from consuming intoxicants.
