Which is more antisocial?
Back in my misspent youth, alcohol, on more than one occasion, caused me to throw up in public. Cannabis never has.
Under the influence of alcohol, I have put my hands where they weren't welcome, on persons I did not even know. That has never happened with pot.
Alcohol has made me not care that my reactions and coordination have been degraded to the the point that operating motor vehicles is foolishly dangerous. When high, I generally decide that wherever I'm headed can wait until I've come down.
The day after a massive buzz, I may be a bit unfocused, but I'm not praying for death. 
Far fewer people turn into... hmmm, shall we say... sphincters under the influence of cannabis than alcohol.
When ingesting massive doses of pot, you get to the point where you say, 'I've had enough', and you stop. With alcohol, you say, 'I shink I'll have s'mmore...' You can happily sit there and kill yourself.
Use of cannabis can enable creative insight. Alcohol generally brings a temporary lowering of intelligence.
Do we really need to ask which is more antisocial?
