You feel the effect of smoking weed pretty much right away. As a consequence, it's easier to get sick with alcohol than when smoking weed.

Reasonable people do adjust their consumption if they want to. You can tell when something is very potent before it harms you, whether it's inhaled weed or alcohol.
Now teens don't always behave as reasonable adults. The best thing to do is to educate them on the topic of drugs.

That's a special case. The sheer volume of beer that it requires to give you alcohol poisoning is often larger than your stomach. If you're drinking a "lite" beer, you're drinking slightly piss-flavored water.
There are no volume issues with pot. You can smoke an enormous amount of weak pot or a tiny amount of strong pot, and it will take up exactly the same amount of space in your lungs: none, unless you forget to exhale.
Kids get their stomachs pumped from alcohol poisoning all the time.
Hardly ever is it from beer. It's almost always from liquor.
Drugs have a delayed response. You won't adjust until you start responding - which can be too late.
