Alchol lowers you're body temperature. Many drunks, and or homeless individuals fall victim to freezing to death, during the winter, do to the fact of not staying in a shelter wile intoxicated. In additon to the fact that the ground draws heat away from the body, the combination can be fatal. Wile marijuana has had little study and there is no evidence what so ever that it has any effect on human body temperature.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Consuming simple carbohydrates such as alcohol or sugar temporarily raises you're body temperature which often causes you to sweat, which in turn rapidly lowers you're body temperature.

Alcohol will not change what is in your body besides it. A urine test may have slightly lower levels of THC metabolites than usual (since alcohol is a diuretic and you will lose water quicker, diluting it somewhat) but if you smoked marijuana, you will still fail any drug test regardless.

Is marijuana more dangerous than alcohol?

absolutely not. as you can see in the link above, alcohol requires more dependence than marijuana. this means that if someone gets drunk off of alcohol, the next time they wish to get drunk they will have to consume more alcohol than the previous time. Also, alcohol is more addictive than marijuana. saying your addicted to marijuana is like saying your addicted to facebook (or something else that you really enjoy doing). as for alcohol, your body depends on alcohol. For marijuana, the addiction is all in your head. as far as overdosing, the theoretical amount of pot you have to consume is over a thousand hits (of course this cant be proven because no one has ever bothered to try it). with alcohol, it is very easy to suffer from alcohol poisoning if one gets drunk enough and is an alcoholic. for intoxication, alcohol leads to direct violence toward others, where marijuana simply makes people relaxed and more tolerant of their surroundings. alcohol can directly lead to serious physical injuries to ones body where marijuana is seldom seen as a direct cause.
