More hazardous -- smoking or drinking?

Many people aren't regular smokers. They only light up when they're in a bar, because it gives them something to do with their hands. I've often wondered which is the more dangerous activity... is it smoking, because of its poisonous effects, or drinking, which can cause severe lapses in judgment?

Well, our Einstein Collection for 2005 has a nominee from Arkansas. You can read about his exploits in this story.

It appears that drinking gets the nod, based on this guy.

This must've looked like some weird cartoon to his friend who was driving.

Maybe the answer is that either smoking or drinking can be hazardous, but put them together with a moving vehicle and something bad is bound to happen.
