The use of alcohol in itself can indeed kill people--it can lead to cirrhosis and many other conditions. I would assume that pot smoking carries with it many of the same risks of tobacco smoking.
And the indirect effects of both pot and alcohol can be terrible. My husband's cousin loved to smoke pot in the seventies. No one ever saw him do anything worse but he did love his pot. One night at a party, someone slipped some hallucinogen into his drink. He freaked out and had to be taken to the mental institution here.
He will never be able to leave the institution.
