Brief Answer:
Would strongly advise against it

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

I would strongly recommend against any drinking drinking having taken the Antabuse even after 24 hours. It is to make you abstain from drinking alcohol. By drinking alcohol , you could become very ill and there is a chance of life threatening , serious disulfiram reaction and interaction.


Wishing you best of health

Thanks
