Use of alcohol differs from pot in consumption and the resultant effect. A mild relaxing buzz from a glass of wine is sufficient for many of those who drink socially. A pot smoker is focused on the intensity of the 'high'. Witness the incessant genetic engineering that has made today's marijuana many times stronger than what was available 20 years ago. Wine and beer makers are not trying to increase the intoxicants in their product. Comparing social drinking to the marijuana culture is truly apples and oranges.

Okay, so what do you think about the people who drink alcohol for a good buzz? And you can smoke pot socially without becoming completely intoxicated and wake up the next day and go out. If you get a good buzz from alcohol, chances are, you'll be hungover.

Everclear, the rocket fuel of booze.

"A pot smoker...?" C'mon. Potency of marijuana is being increased so that smokers don't have to smoke a quarter ounce to get a "mild relaxing buzz." As for alcohol, well, considering that the consumer has the option of buying everything from wine coolers to Everclear, I would say your assertion is incorrect on its face. Have you ever smoked marijuana?
