Could Drinking Alcohol During Anti Rabbies Vaccination Process Be Harmful?

Hi. I am Patrick. I finished the first dose of anti rabbies vaccine. I was advised by the Doctor not to intake any kind of alcohol or beer for 3 months. My question is, what would be the possible reaction or effect if I still drink alcohol during anti rabbies vaccine process? Thanks for the reply.

If you are having Japanese Encephalitis vaccine, you must avoid 'more than your usual' alcohol for 48 hours after each dose. If taking the oral cholera vaccine, alcohol (or food) must not be taken one hour before and two hours after the vaccine. It is OK to have alcohol in the 48 hours after other vaccinations - however, stay under the legal limit - approximately one standard drink per hour.
