He gives a sermon on the ills of drinking. This does not seem to be much of an issue when compared to the larger problems going on in the play.

In Act 2, Scene 3 of Macbeth, the porter imagines he is the porter of Hell's gate, which he jokes about by referencing different types of sinners and the punishments they will face in Hell. He creates a dark and humorous atmosphere contrasted with the serious events happening in the play.

Who is the porter in Macbeth?
A porter is simply the man who is in charge of the gate. He's the one that opens it and closes it, and makes sure people who aren't supposed to come in don't. The porter from Macbeth, specifically, is the comic relief after Duncan is murdered. Shakespeare knew that he had to keep people interested, and thus needed to put in something funny. The porter has been drinking all night, and when he hears Macduff and Lennox knocking, he imagines that he is porter to the gates of Hell. He then proceeds to imagine what kind of people he would let in. I hope this helps.
