Is it okay to drink without getting intoxicated?
I like to drink alcoholic drinks, but I've always limit myself not to drink until I got intoxicated and unable to control myself. Thus I'm still drinking in moderation. A glass of beer or a shot of vodka never made me intoxicated and I always limit my consumption to avoid getting intoxicated.
And of course, after that, I always do shalat 5 times a day as usual, not under any influence because being my prayer wouldn't be accepted when I'm intoxicated.
Is this okay? Because from peer discussions and various listings of ulama's opinions, alcohol is not haram per-se but it's considered makrooh (strongly discouraged) and when you intoxicated that's the moment it became haram. (Same case when I went for the club to socialize but always limit myself not to commit any zinah like adultery, but that's for another question)
