Where is there room for debate?

Now add in deaths due to drunk driving, serious fights at bars where alcohol was a factor, productivity lost to hangover (sick days), spousal abuse from people while drunk, etc and you can see alcohol's negative impact in many areas.

Not to mention for me my immune system gets super run down due to heavy drinking and I have noticed a strong correlation in my life between heavy drinking and getting colds/sick.

I've met a lot of alcholics and a lot of stoners and while weed does have some negatives I think they are dwarfed by the negatives that heavy drinking produces. All drugs can be abused. Alcohol abuse can be life wrecking and its legal.
