But there was a verse revealed earlier that says: don't come to prayer
sessions when you are drunk. Quran 2:219 was revealed later; it was the
second step and 2:219 was not (is not) a categorical prohibition of wine
under all circumstances.
I think this is a clear case of the Qur'an revealing a social or spiritual law in stages. The Bab did this. So did Baha`u'llah
