Alcohol, tobacco, and refined sugar all were amazingly bad for the human race, too, and yet drove forward societal developments and significant advancements.
And getting your dick up is, officially, just a side-effect of Viagra, not its intended use (as a blood-thinner and regulator).

Alcohol has revolutionized science and medicine... And killed billions, likely. But the first bit is still true. And the desire for the second bit, just for the self-destructive side of these things, has driven nations... Some to ruin, others to glory.
