TL;DR
Tobacco smoking either prior to or during alcohol consumption or both counteracted the alcohol-induced slowing of alpha frequency which was evident in both nonsmokers and deprived smokers.
Abstract

With the exception of its inhibitory effect on release of oxytocin, vasopressin and possibly other hypothalamic peptides, ethanol does not appear notably different in its spectrum of effects from a wide range of other hypnotics, anesthetics and minor tranquilizers.

In smokers a low dose of alcohol slightly improved decision time on a choice reaction-time task and in combination with tobacco resulted in significant improvement compared with placebo conditions, while in nonsmokers decision time deteriorated significantly after a moderate dose ofalcohol but not in smokers.
Clinical Pharmacology & TherapeuticsEffects of smoking on drug action
52 Citations1977Russell R. Miller
The effects of smoking on drug metabolism in 3 categories of cigarette smokers were studied in patients in 22 hospitals in 7 countries in a collaborative program, compatible with the hypothesis that substances in cigarette smoke induce liver microsomal enzymes which increase the metabolism of these drugs.

Results suggest that chronic administration of nicotine did not affect the drug metabolizing activity of hepatic microsomes, and while psychotropic drugs significantly potentiated the hypnosis due to pentobarbital and hexobar bital, the degree of potentiation was the same in both chronically nicotine pretreated mice and controls.

The finding that an intravenous injection of theophylline (2 mg/kg) enhanced the irradiation hyperthermia, may point to the participation of cyclic AMP in the response.
