Drinking and Smoking
Check out this biton why it is good to drinking and smoking togther. On the one hand, nicotine decreases the rate of gastric emptying (alcohol is absorbed slower) , allowing it to be broken down. On the other hand, alcohol decreses inhibitions, and possibly intensifies the pleasurable effects of nicotine.

Blood alcohol level seemed to decrease in a dose-dependent fashion: At the highest amounts of nicotine, the level of alcohol in the rats’ bloodstream was 50 percent lower than when the rats didn’t receive nicotine.
