Hi & Welcome.

It is not fatal to eat watermelon after taking alcohol.

Watermelon is considered to be a very healthy fruit and can be eaten daily in moderate quantity.

It contains carbohydrate (sugars like fructose), various vitamins including vitamin C, and minerals which are good for your health.

There's no harm in eating it after taking alcohol as there is no documented harmful interactions between the two.

Hope this clears your doubt.
