It is the state of mind which brings out the Asura (Rakshasa) even from sura (demigod-now a days babas) and commit any sort of crime for.
This is only a story to teach the evils of alcohol.
A culprit was to be sentenced to a certain amount of punishment for the crimes he had committed. The judge asks him to choose one of the three crimes to be committed so that he will be let scot free. (This is only a story, it does not happen any time like this anyway.)
1) Rape a woman convict
2) Kill a child convict
3) Take the marijuana-drug
4) Drink the whiskey
The convict thinks many times and states that first one is a crime, second one is absolutely not possible, third one it is a sin to take to drug. Finally he agrees to drink the whiskey since that is considered least of all wrong things (Soma baan of Devas probably supports these sort of things??????). In the inebriated condition he rapes the woman. Then he takes the marijuana-drug and kills the child.
Anybody in his better senses will think thousands of time while committing any mistake through panchendriyas (Mind is uncontrollable for a common man who can think anything).

Not sure what the relevance of this post to the topic.
A large part of the world drink.
There are criminals that may blame bottle of whisky for their behaviour and a group Bollywood and Tamil movies that may want to portray a loser driven to commit violence after drinking.
There are also stories made to teach some connection.
Yes, abilities are impaired when one drinks beyond a limit and that to in an addictive manner. Watching porn repeatedly can create a delusional view of the world. These are not healthy behaviour for individual or the society around them.
But unless a person has in them to commit acts of violence for whatever reason they are unable to do so.
Western world that collects statistics estimates at least 9 percent watchers of porn are women and this number has tripled in the last few years. Besides there are other studies and polls that put this number at a much higher number. All those people do not go around commiiting acts of violence.
I personally do not drink, no one in my family drinks and we do not care to delude ouselves. Same with porn which I think is often the product of deep exploitation.
My point here is that human beings likes to pass 'moral judgement' on others - Often I have found those that are most judgemental of others are the most corrupt in their thinking and in their personal life.
Let those who want to drink may do so, and if they do not cause harm to others then it is their life. If they cause harm to others regardless of reason they need to be dealt with full power of law.
