Alcohol consumption may be in response to smoking cessation -- ScienceDaily 

"This pattern of urges and alcohol consumption could indicate a vicious cycle whereby smoking urges could lead to alcohol consumption, and, in turn, lead to greater urges to smoke and increased likelihood of relapse."

Kinda ' a chicken or egg first situation, the study found.

Whatever - it just isn't a good idea to tempt yourself with alcohol when quitting.   A quit is a terrible thing to lose.

I smoked until a vascular surgeon informed me of the damage I had done to myself by doing so. I quit 11 years ago, and I can swim laps virtually FOREVER now, walk most other days 40 minutes to an hour and a half. What a difference quitting has made in my life! I strive to help others find this wonderful freedom from addiction, too.
