"Alcohol makes you more likely to do things without thinking them through. This can increase your chances of slipping and smoking a cigarette."

Alcohol & Smoking | Smokefree 

While I don 't agree that smoking a cigarette after you have quit is a slip (unless a  wet floor, banana peel or a spot of ice is involved),  this article, I think, is helpful in understanding why it's a bad idea to drink alcohol while you are quitting smoking - and to limit your alcohol consumption after your quit is well in hand.

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.
