If you start means. U can not control the quantity in future. Alcholism will cause loss o immunity by direct and indirect ways. If you loose immunity. You can get Tuberculosis again any time which is called Reactivation. Or Reinfectio. So my good advise try to avoid. Bcz you already stopped alcohol.
