If its medically proven that in the long term occasional usage of weed is not determental to your overall health in any way then yes legalize it, alcohol however should be outright banned and destroyed.... it is addictive from the first sip and it is proven to be bad for you in the long run.
First let me say this: Fuck you, sir!
Educate yourself a little:
http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/wine-how-much-is-good-for-youAnd a little of my personal experience, I'm 31 years old, I drink alcohol since I was 7 or so, I'm not an addict, never was, not even a functional drunk, I just enjoy drinking and have done that a lot! And hope still be doing a lot more in the future!
I will argue the same way
Damnsammit did, why not ban fast food, or any unhealthy food, like bacon, as it is a major cause of death and/or disability, I'll bet much higher than alcohol consumption.
And check my post on addiction/banning/decriminalization from someone who saw the changes in policy reflecting on the social changes:

No reason we can poison ourselves with some substances but not others. As long as I am only shooting up in my veins, then what makes it an issue with the federal government?
In a society where healthcare is "free" like where I live some will argue that it will increase government spending on medical care. Not that I'm in favour of "free" and poorly managed healthcare but this is another mater.
I do live in such a country also, but like you typed, and very well done, free is not actually free...
In defense of this "free" healthcare I'll argue that putting junkies in jail where they will perpetuate their addiction, or letting them on the streets begging for money or robbing or spreading aids prostituting themselves has a much higher social and financial cost then implementing treatment into the "free" healthcare system.
And another point on this subject, some people argue that smokers are a big burden on the healthcare system, because they have higher chance of developing diseases like cancer and treating these diseases is very expensive.
Where I live, something like 90% of a cigarette pack price goes for taxes, what a smoker contributes in his life time in taxes pays many times whatever treatment he might need for a smoking related disease, so, we smokers are the ones paying for the treatment of the fat fucks who like to clog their veins with fatty foods that have a low tax attached.
