Hi,
Thank you for your query,
Alcohol drinking should be avoided during the vaccination against rabies till its completion.
Alcohol consumption lead to increased virulence of the virus, decreased efficacy of the virus.
Another thing is drunken state will increase the risk of exposure dog bites due to the drunken behavior and easy catchment for dogbites.
Hope I have answered your query.
