Yes.
The questioner:
He asks: Is it valid in the warning that the prayer of one who drinks intoxicants is not accepted for forty nights?
The Shaykh:
By Allah, I do not know what I am recalling here, but in the hadith it is said: So the one who worships an idol and becomes accustomed to it, and drinks it in his heart and loves it, is like the one who drinks intoxicants and cannot part with them. The polytheist cannot part with the idol because he took its word and drank the calf into his hearts, O Children of Israel; they drank the love of the calf they worship into their hearts, may Allah protect us from that. If the disbelievers did not love the idols, they would not worship them. This is among the punishments: the one who abandons the love of Allah, Glorified and Exalted, who created him, provided for him, and commanded him to worship Him, is afflicted with the love of idols and the love of filthy, evil things. We ask Allah for safety from that. This is a form of transformation.
