Hello ,
With or without DES , once you have evidence of atherosclerosis , there is no way smoking is justified , To give you statistics there is two fold increased risk of stent re stenosis if you continue smoking ie. 20% chance the stent will close
For alcohol max 2 pegs a day is permitted, so over the weekends it's fine enough . Just avoid bing drinking during parties .
