I don't find the effects of the two substances to be at all comparable, except perhaps that both make it somewhat easier to enjoy low-quality and/or mediocre foods and entertainment. Otherwise, the effects on ability to e.g. think quickly, socialize, be motivated, and enjoy things that require e.g. fast attention switching and working memory are just totally different.

Obviously the effects of different substances for different individuals can vary profoundly, and alcohol for me is far superior in almost every way imaginable.

Which sucks, because the long-term and next-day side effects of cannabis seem so much less bad.
