Brief Answer:
No direct interaction

Detailed Answer:
Hi. Welcome to Healthcare Magic. I am Dr Anshul Varshney for your help.
See alcohol doesn't directly interact with Propranolol so one may take alcohol after that.
But remember that alcohol increases anxiety, so a person who is suffering from anxiety and is on medications for that should best avoid alcohol.
I hope it helps you.
If you have any further query please ask me.
