Debate time, kiddies.

By far, I'd say drinking beers is way worse. WAY worse. As a matter of fact, I won't even ****in do it. Last party we threw, everyone complained at the GhosT because he wasn't drinking enough. Pay no mind to how much I TOKEY TOKEY, but it really seems to me like everyone just wanted something to ***** about that night. Regardless, point stands.

Alcohol thins out your blood (you bleed more), ages the body, thins out skin (making it easier to get cut), adds TONS of unnecessary carbs to a low carb diet, puts on fat, slows metabolism, encourages decreased productivity of testosterone, deteriorates internal organs (liver shot, anyone?), and most importantly, is addictive as ****... the body builds a serious biological dependency upon alcohol.

Marijuana to me is the lesser of two evils... people get drunk and wrap cars around trees... people get stoned and sit in front of the TV poiunding twinkies. Sure, they both slow reaction time, but Mariijuana does not physically alter your body the way alcohol does. It may do a little bit of a number on the lungs, but for all the medicinal quality it brandishes, I can't imagine it's much. There are 60 complex chemical compounds in cigarette smoke, 4 of which have been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to be carcinogenic. There are over 250 complex chemical compounds in Marijuana smoke... and NOT ONE is directly linked to cancer or any manmade, synthetic carcinogen... so anyone who was going to bring the "smoke is smoke" argument to the table can ****can it in advance.

Let's talk about this.

I thoroughly enjoy both. I think booze is worse for most, but bud ****s me up worse because I'm an asthmatic with ****ty cardio. I just smoke entirely too much weed because it's my favorite vice. Even my GF taps my **** in a matter of minutes if I indulge in too many bong hits for breakfast. It's best to maintain a healthy balance of beer, bud AND prescription drugs.

I've trained with guys who drank all weekend, and they're way slower for about 2 days after that... I've trained with guys who smoked up all weekend, and they can still go 100 percent the following day.

Alcohol effects you for days as opposed to weed which is only hours. And if u compete, you gotta watch your weight.. weed wont effect your weight where as boo's will.

..and when you smoke weed you still know what the **** you're doin and can still have control of your **** where as alcohol you dont know what the **** you're doin after u get loaded.

Both make you fat, lazy, and stupid in direct and indirect ways. Why handicap your body to it's fullest potential?

Howdy there Dave...

i both **** you up
beer makes you feel sluggish

weed makes your lungs sluggish meaning you will sweat more, feel hotter and worst case feel like puking and run out of stamina.

I agree with most of what u said dave, except i have read numerous studies which claim that Marijuana smoke is actually worse for your lungs than cigarette smoke. So there are 2 sides to this story.

Matt Jensen nailed it. Also, look at people 40 and over who've been steady beer drinkers, and compare them to the ones who've been just smokin' regularly. The smokers usually have fared better long-term, at least the ones I know.

And, two different doctors have told me that an active person in decent shape isn't affected much by 2 or 3 cigarettes per day. A recent world record holder in the decathlon smoked cigs, fer crissake. SO, if we assume 2 or 3 JOINTS per day instead of cigs, a fighter could be a semi-chronic and be OK. Getting drunk takes a harmful dose, and ****s bodies up worse long term.

I'm not a doctor, but I watch ER and stuff. So I'm probably right.

I think weed is better, when i drink i feel it in my head for days and i tend to binge eat late at night....it also seems to effect my motovation too, like if i get hammered on friday it is hard for me to train on Saturday. If i smoke weed, I am tired a few hours later,...I sleep well and as long as I drink a lot of water (wich is good) i do not get hungry. and i feel great when i wake up
