I like to get a buzz from drinking and then smoke a little. When I wasn't smoking weed I noticed I was drinking way too much, and usuallly drank until passing out. One I re-introduced weed into the mix I was able to drink a lot less, and the weed made me feel good enough that I didn't want to get totally wasted. If I smoke at the end of the night after getting drunk, then its lights out, so I prefer to keep it to under 6 beers, smoking after about beer 3 usually, and then a few times later.
