Alcohol is legal because it has long historical roots within people's cultures and societies. It's a social drug, and is accepted as that.
Weed is not a social drug (of course you're welcome to argue otherwise) and is not accepted as that.
That's why one is legal and the other one isn't.
Illegalizing alcohol is retarded. Think back to Prohibition in America, and all over the world.
I come from Estonia. Drunk drivers there get ****ed. I wouldn't even consider sitting behind a wheel with any alcohol in me whatsoever (yes, even 0.1 will get you a huge fine and/or you can lose your license). Maybe it would work in America as well if you had stricter rules in that sense.
