Yes: Alcohol in unnatural amounts, as in alcoholic drinks, is toxic to living tissues. An alcohol abuser can safely gradually stop drinking alcohol with the help of her doctor. If no doctor is available at all, she can slowly come off the alcohol... such as weaning down gradually over a one month period, to zero drinks, and then never touch the stuff again (plus stay away from people who are drinking).

Azithromycin: There is no interaction between alcohol and azithromycin. It will work fine.
