A moderate amount of alcohol won't do you any harm as a T1. But you need to get familiar with how it affects blood sugar, especially when you are using insulin. More important, IMO, is to stop smoking. It causes cumulative damage over a long period of time which, as a diabetic, you really want to avoid.

Seconded. You can drink with diabetes (god knows, I do!) but drying out until you figure out exactly what is wrong with you is the best thing to do, and then you can reintroduce alcohol. Smoking is an unhealthy move, and yeah, it's your choice. But be aware that smoking obviously carries certain risks and diabetes magnifies the likelihood of risks. Trust me, I've seen what smoking can do to people and it ain't pretty.
