What does Proverbs 20:1 mean?

Wine can make people act like fools, and strong drinks can make them loud and reckless. If you let alcohol control you, you’re not thinking straight. Proverbs 20:1 - Modern Text Bible

(This verse warns that alcohol can cloud judgment and lead to embarrassing or destructive behavior. It’s not just about drinking, but about letting anything take over your self-control.)
