alcoholism

Description

Alcoholism is a modern rite of worship that elevates casual drinking to a ritual of cursing the dawn. What begins as the lubricant of social interaction becomes a cunning self-destruction mechanism that rusts both body and soul with every toast. The dependent pours the illusion of autonomy and choice into a glass, only to get stuck cleaning up the spilled remnants. Few recognize that the bottom of the bottle is not a symbol of salvation but a mirror reflecting void and sighs. Ultimately, one ends up chugging exquisite pain in exchange for their health and freedom.
