Science behind your craving for cigarettes only when you drink

You're two or maybe three drinks down and suddenly you feel the urge to smoke and the weird part is that you're not even a smoker.

Yep, according to experts cigarettes do complete the void when you drink. Let's find out why.

According to Dr. John Dani from the University of Pennsylvania, the craving occurs because of two reasons; the way nicotine affects memory and how nicotine combines with alcohol to reduce dopamine levels. The two mechanisms together make cigarettes seem delicious.

Hence, the reason people keep smoking and drinking together is to release stress hormones and regain happiness.
