To answer your question regarding this specific scenario, I don't personally believe that someone who quits smoking but has no problems with drinking needs to also quit drinking. I don't have a reference, but I'm fairly certain that RR recommends making separate Big Plans for nicotine and caffeine. That is, making a Big Plan for drinking/using, and separate ones for nicotine and caffeine (the 'minor league' drugs). The separate chapter on smoking in The Art of AVRT appears to me to imply this, since it makes no mention of quitting other drugs along with smoking, but if someone has a definitive reference, feel free to post it.
