I have known a number of marriages that broke up because of excessive gambling.

gambling is really a terrible thing I think

@damagedsoul I don't gamble myself but I don't call it a universal evil. If someone wants to bet a couple of dollars on the outcome of a game I have no issue. However when the person becomes addicted to gambling and loses everything they have and then some more I do call it bad news all around. Like having a beer or drinking one's self to oblivion every night. There is a time when it is fun and a time when it is dangerous.

Its a great answer, but I think gambling doesn't bring anything good to the world, very much opposed to alcohol.

@damagedsoul To each their own. I am not a puritan nor do I think it my place to impose my morality on others.
