wine vs weed

I want some of your input in this. Its kind of personal so I feel I may be bias on my decisions.
I quit vaping weed about 40 days ago. For many reasons. Impaired short term memory being one. I still think its great though.
I started drinking wine instead. I've never been a big drinker myself. Just a half glass before bed while reading a book. In my experience with weed I would enjoy things less than usual. Except when high. Nothing was fun except when high. Is this usually the case?
My question is. What do you prefer? I can't make up my mind. Having some cognitive dissonance about the pros and cons of each. I want to figure out which would be most optimal enjoyment for me while reading a book and just relaxing. I want to be able to think mostly clear and remember things, but also get lost in the wonder of some mystery.
Also side note. When I quit weed it wasn't that bad besides sweating for the next week. I constantly sweated and couldn't control it. I was sweating in my sleep, at work, pretty much every hour of detox. Is this normal?
Personally I'm preferring the wine cause its easier to dose. I find with weed I get less motivated to do those things, can't remember anything. Maybe I was taking to much. I smoked for 6 years and had a decent tolerance going but it felt like while sober I was mildly high at those times. Is it possible to even take less and not be affected by memory impairment? whats your take?

I much prefer weed over alcohol. Alcohol is much more damaging to the body, and I feel like it makes me feel worn out all the time when I do it.

Weed makes me feel worn out too. Could it have been excess? Just curious. I did do it a lot even though I thoroughly enjoyed it.

IMO they both can be a lot of fun in moderation and shitty in excess. One thing I don't like about weed is the amount of time it takes for me to stop feeling stoned after I stop.

To be fair, if you wanted to properly compare a half glass of wine to weed, it would be like smoking a small half-hit. But if you keep your tolerance low you will probably still get pretty high from that and probably experience less negative side effects.

If you stick to half glass - one glass, you are actually doing your body a favor. with smoking weed, you are not doing your body any favors.

I prefer weed myself. Alcohol makes me feel super cloudy and unmotivated, but I have had my issues with it and it wasn't always like that. So as long as it doesn't get out of hand you'll be alright I guess. The thing with weed is that I only feel unmotivated and worn out if I'm sitting down. Once I get up and start moving around its a non issue. Having a plan to do something ahead of time doesn't hurt either.
That being said, I've smoked weed for close to 10 years. I quit for a couple of those years for work and ended up drinking heavily and screwed my life up real nice so just keep tabs with that shit and be careful. They always told me that once you're an alcoholic, you're always an alcoholic. And turns out they were right. So as long as you don't get to that point ever, you should be straight.

Yeah I smoke weed like a champ and work full time and train in Aikido 4 days a week. Doesn't make me too lazy.
