I'd much rather it be that a depressed person spends time online chatting with others, which would hopefully improve his mood, than to tell him to go to a bar and get wasted and then kill himself or someone else driving home drunk. Someone with an addiction usually uses the addiction to fill a void in his life. The 'net seems to be the safer option to me. Just my opinion, though.
