Many people enjoy a glass of wine with their meal, others rip the ass out of it completely. Whether it is a good or bad thing lies in the choices people make around it. At best, I consider all these things (social media, gambling, alcohol, drugs, driving) as neutral activities. The determining factor, or danger, lies in the hands of the user. Think Sartre and existentialism!
