Yes: You should not drink excessively. For a woman, one drink (12 oz beer, 4 oz wine, or 1.25 oz liquor) is acceptable.

YES YOU CAN BUT WHY: Yes drinking alcohol before the Tetanus shot but why do you want to drink alcohol before getting Tetanus Shot It will not change the effectiveness of the vaccine but it does not make sense
