Drinking or smoking. What is more dangerous in your opinion?

I'm going to go smoke a cigarette just because you said that.

People can get liver failure from drinking. They can lose their temper, rage against others, drive drunk, and that's just the basics.

 

Here's how I see it:

If you smoke, while the effects are damaging, they take a long time to finally take a hold of your body and cause the damage that they do. If you smoked once and never did it again, you'll recover.

If you drink, you have the potential to end your life instantly if you get behind the wheel of a vehicle and try to drive. Drinking really messes with your body and head, you can't think straight, and that puts you at risk for accidents abound. And I'm not even going to go into how if you drunk drive, you're putting others' lives on the line as well.

Okay, so smoking also can damage people around you too, but not in the same manner as drunk driving.

 

Both are really bad for you, but smoking tends to be more harmful than alcohol. But hey, if you want to feel like your lungs are on fire, or your liver shutting down be my guest :/

 

I can't see which is worse, but I'm going with drinking despite both can kill you. =O

 

Dammit!>.< Why is there no option for both??

 

Because you can't say that both are more dangerous than the other. We understand that they're both really dangerous, but we're discussing which one is MORE dangerous.

 

I'm not voting, both are dangerous.

 

EVEN THE POST I MADE ABOVE YOU TOLD EVERYONE THAT THAT'S NOT THE POINT IF YOU WOULD PAY THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO DO BEFORE YOU DO ITa

 

Smoking.It's bad no matter how much you do it.Although,drinking in moderation is okay.

 

Well, she has a point there, and my bad I didn't look

 

I say drinking bacuse it only takes one buzzed drive home from a crazy pary to kill you or others.

Someone should look up the statistics to see which one outweighs one other in how many deaths they've caused. Too lazy to do so myself right now.

 

Lookin' right now, Crisp..

Too bad every site I've found thus far says "Both are bad combo".

Okay, found one here: http://www.inforesearchlab.com/smokingdeaths.chtml

One death every 6.5 seconds for smoking.

However, here: http://www.madd.org/Drunk-Driving/Drunk-Driving/Statistics.aspx

One drunk driving death every forty minutes. Mostly by 18-20 year olds.
