I've had a few friends in my life that were complete screw ups that got too baked too often and did nothing with their lives. I've seen guys wreck their cars while stoned plenty of times. All of this while I've also maintained friends that are in the craft beer scene that catch a buzz and relax without ever blacking out and getting crazy.
I don't have an issue with either being legal and I think it's dumb for anyone to smoke/drink and then operate a vehicle or to over indulge into either of them. Both have proven their worth from a health standpoint in different ways, but that requires moderation on each side.
No one said either of those things in your first paragraph. We just said that we enjoy getting stoned much more than getting drunk. Personally it's not even a question which is more enjoyable. I can get really high and still function. I know other people cant.
