The thing with booze is, it takes work to get drunk. You have to commit yourself to keep putting the fucking shit down your throat and it's a whole process going from sober to drunk. With weed, you just take a few tokes and BANG...you're high. On top of that, I find that if it's my first smoke of the day, there's no negative physical after-effects, unlike booze. Of course, the more you smoke in a given day the more burnt out you get, but that "first smoke of the day" high is so much nicer than drinking, I think.
