Simplified Meaning:
When you start drinking alcohol, you might think you’re in control. You have one drink and feel good. But then, if you continue, the alcohol starts to control your actions and decisions. Over time, drinking becomes a habit you can’t easily stop, and it starts to control your life. Imagine someone who's sad one day and decides to have a beer to feel better. The next day, they do the same thing. Soon, they find that they can't stop drinking because their body and mind crave alcohol. This habit can affect their job, relationships, and health. To avoid this trap, it’s important to drink responsibly or find other ways to handle stress and emotions, like talking to a friend, exercising, or engaging in a hobby.
