It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: When alcohol was forbidden, they said:

O Messenger of Allah, (what about) our companions who have died and who used to drink it? Then Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, revealed the words: "Those who believe and do righteous good deeds, there is no sin on them for what they ate (in the past)...” [al-Ma'idah 5:93].
