Marijuana damages your lungs, clogs arteries and can create serious mental problems for you. Smoking marijuana in copious amounts can make you sick, black out or freak out.
Alcohol damages your liver, is a carbohydrate with no nutritional value therefore causing you to gain weight and causes hangovers. Drinking alcohol in copious amounts (this I know about) can cause you to be sick, black out, become an asshole, cry, fight, piss in the street, spend shit loads of money, bump uglies, shit in your own bath and of course, fall down. NOTE: in most cases you'll only sustain liver damage if you drink too much more or less every day.
Both have good and bad points though. Alcohol is a more socially acceptable high, something that has become traditional at gatherings and parties and something that isn't illegal. Alcohol is also a more active high, meaning you want to go out and enjoy yourself with friends or in a club etc.
Marijuana is illegal, less socially acceptable in terms of family and in general; but it is a mellow high with little or no chance of violence, it's a less emotional drug but it does slow your reactions/movement down meaning you want to sit and do nothing but zone out or snigger at nothing in particular with your friends.
Personally, I give the win to alcohol. I've never been a huge fan of weed anyway, and I prefer the buzz from alcohol too. The fact is apart from the calories and the hangover it's not as bad for you; I'd rather become a little chubby from booze than a crazy paranoid wreck from weed.
Acid/Ex > Everything though.
