Hi & Welcome to HCM
I appreciate your concern for the safety of Alcohol consumption following antirabies vaccination.
It should not be consumed at least for three months from the last dose of the Rabipure vaccination received it is because alcohol may reduce the efficacy of the vaccines by suppressing your immune system.
Smoking has no effect on the antirabies vaccine.
There is no dietary restriction you may take your routine meals.
Hope to have answered your query.
