Question: Does it help to quit if I stop drinking?
Answer: Alcohol can be a big problem when you quit. Your resolve can dissolve after a few of beers! Personally I kept my social events that involved drinking and friends who smoked to a minimum in the first 4 weeks. If you think about it before you quit you do have time to sort out the best strategies for you.
