Alcohol can be very drying, which is not good for singing. Whisky voice is just kind of like that rasp you can get if you're a little dehydrated. Long term drinking would just cause that drying of the cords to not go away as easily or at all.
It's essentially the same science behind getting a hangover because you got too dehydrated, but it's affecting the vocal cords.
