Why has Allah permitted wine in the Hereafter, even though it intoxicates the mind, and it is mentioned in the Quran by the same name? And what is the meaning of the word "كواعب" (kawa'ib) mentioned in Surat An-Naba, and does it refer to women's breasts?

The wine of the Hereafter differs from the wine of this world. The wine of this world contains evils such as headaches, stomachaches, and loss of reason. As for the wine of the Hereafter, Allah has purified it from these afflictions. It is white, delicious for those who drink it, does not cause any harm (stomachache or headache), nor do its drinkers become intoxicated (i.e., they do not lose their minds), nor does it cause drunkenness, vomiting, or urination.
