Can I drink alcohol after being bitten by a dog?

You should not drink alcohol after being bitten by a dog, because if you are bitten by a dog you generally have to go through a hospital to treat the wound and then get a rabies vaccination. The purpose of rabies vaccination is to stimulate the body’s immune system to produce antibodies to a virus like rabies in order to kill the invading rabies virus. Patients should avoid hormonal drugs because they can inhibit the production of antibodies. Drinking alcohol can kill the antibodies produced and thus affect the effectiveness of the vaccine, so do not drink alcohol for one month after the rabies vaccination. After rabies vaccination, you should not take a bath for 24 hours to avoid infection of the vaccination site, take rest, do not exercise strenuously, drink more water, eat a light diet, eat easily digestible food, avoid spicy and stimulating food, and do not eat fried food. It is also necessary to ensure sufficient sleep and to keep a relaxed mood, which is conducive to the production of antibodies, and alcohol and coffee are strictly prohibited.
