Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis is for 9-10 months.
You have completed treatment as per U N O standard.
Now ,your query is ,that you want to consume alcohol 4 -6 times in a YEAR.
You can use alcohol freely but not more than 4-5 pegs (30-60 ml/ peg) in a single sitting.
Not more than 6 times in a year.
Hope you will follow the things.
Good luck.
