Although a moot point for us, since we don't do either, the embracing of alcohol while being against pot is simply a massive hypocrisy. I think it started with the ridiculous and factually wrong short film 'Reefer Madness,' which a lot of now older and highly gullible people, actually still believe. I'll take a bunch of pot smokers, over drinkers, any day. The supposed 'War on Drugs' has been a huge failure, except for those who make a lot of money or wages off of it, or wanted a way to punish minorities even more (re: huge sentencing differences between crack and powder cocaine users).
One of the best comments I've ever heard, that is also at its core very true, is; "Four guys sitting around drinking booze want to start a fight, while four guys sitting around smoking pot - want to start a band." LOL
