Can Smoking Or Drinking Cause Any Problems To The Infected Teeth?

Hey I have a minor tooth infection on my bottom left wisdom tooth, but I have planned a trip to a college to party and visit my friends, can I smoke weed or drink alcohol? Is beer worse then hard liquor for my tooth? Would taking ecstasy or LSD effect my tooth either?
