Does the warning associated with drinking intoxicants include one who repents from it?

Question : Is this warning, and other warnings for those who drink intoxicants—such as being made to drink from the pus of the sinners on the Day of Resurrection—applicable to one who drank it even if he repented from it, or is one who repented from it excluded?

Answer : No, no. May Allah bless you, and this is for everyone: repentance destroys what came before it, no matter what it was, due to the generality of the saying of Allah the Exalted: And if Allah accepts the repentance of one who committed shirk (associating partners with Allah), which necessitates eternal abode in the Fire, or one who committed zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) or killed a soul, then likewise, He accepts the repentance of one who drank intoxicants and other sins.
