The symptoms of too much drinking can mimic the symptoms of mental issues when rabies hits your system: confusion, agitation, anxiety, muscle issues. It would be hard to tell if your symptoms are from the alcohol or from the exposure to rabies.

Also, alcohol and the vaccine can cause a serious reaction but I was unable to find out what it was...just that it can.

Its because the vaccine affects the immune system and alcohol could compromise the effects of the vaccine.
