It's not, necessarily. A lot of how dangerous drinking is depends on how often and much is consumed, and whether the consumer has any underlying health issues such as a compromised liver, Diabetes, or a genetic predisposition toward Alcoholism. Smoking, on the other hand, is ALWAYS bad for your health, and the health of those around you. The lungs are designed to do one thing: facilitate the delivery of oxygen into the blood stream. Any time you introduce any foreign substance into the bloodstream, and especially via aspiration, it's not good for you.
