May be pots and cigarettes makes him high and feel better than alcohol

Verdict is if you smoke you are more likely to consume alcohol
cigarettes never give you any high...people are just addicted to that..if you are stressed, you feel like smoking, if you are sad, you feel like smoking, if you are bored, you feel like smoking...if you are with friends, having a discussion, you want a smoke..
pot is different because the high you experience is entirely different from the stupor being drunk gives..pot is less expensive, less time consuming..does not affect your functionality as much as being drunk do..so if you have access to pot, you usually smoke that instead of getting drunk..
best part of drinking for many people is the process of getting drunk, not being drunk itself..
if you rely on smoking to relieve your stress, it is rather likely that you look for something stronger to relieve your stress..guess that's why most people end up being drunks..
you do it a few times with your buddies, you start drowning your sorrows in drinks, and in no time, you are addicted to it.
lolz..all this I said from personal experience..hope it will help your survey or whatever
