I would ban alcohol before porn

Last edited Tue Jun 19, 2012, 03:20 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)

The thread lamenting porn's effect on society got a surprising number of posters agreeing with it, but if I were to think about true evils of society, I would think alcohol causes far more harm to society than porn does. I don't need to describe the well known and multiple health considerations and problems brought on by alcohol, or ancillary effects such as drunk driving or spousal abuse, broken families, etc. So all those who think porn has a rather negative effect on society, alcohol is a bigger negative IMHO and if I were to choose one to ban, it would be the booze. What do you say?
