Last time I drinked a beer was uhhh 1 year and 4-5months ago. In the process of quitting cigarrette, and I expect to never do any of those again in my life. They're bad in almost any quantity, they won't harm me.
As far as I know moderate/average use is also bad. Maybe not as bad as cigarrette but still bad.
Besides who drinks moderately? lol No, but really, I bet a majority doesn't. <- classes in 1hour, can't really look it up.

Everyone and their mother knows that smoking is way worse than alcohol. Alcohol can be broken down by the liver, while tar and stuff in your lungs cannot. Alcohol is broken down by oxidation with the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase. An average human being eliminates 5% of alcohol with urine, exhales 5% and then the rest is from oxidation. So if your kidney is healthy, it would take about an hour or so to break down the alcohol in a 355 ml can. Your body can't do anything to break down the tar and sh`it that gets into your lungs from smoking, so drinking in moderation is far better than smoking cigarettes or tobacco in general.

Drinking moderately (keyword. This is the side where the problems may start) lets you filter stuff better, but throwing some smoke inside your lungs or people near you is always 100% negative. The lungs can't filter all that black filth in them, and become stagnant, slowly degenerating.
