Can alcohol intoxication inhibit antibody formation in repsonse to a vaccine ?

Unlikely: Imbibing on large quantities can have deleterious effects beyond inhibiting some antibody response to vaccination, but there is a possibility that it can have some effect on immune system suppression.

Not likely: There is nothing to indicate that consumption of ethanol will inhibit antibody formation in response to use of vaccines.
