Ben Levi, even were it true that a greater churban is caused by the internet than by drinking (and I do not accept that as a given), what someone does in the privacy of his home on the internet is known only to him and damages him privately. What some foolish teenager or even more foolish OLDER guy does in PUBLIC while intoxicated is known to ALL. NEITHER of these is good for those people, but the danger of causing physical damage to himself and to OTHER innocent victims is far greater when one is drunk, than when one is using the internet (which CAN be used for the good, as well, as opposed to drunkenness, which bodes no good for anyone).
