It's actually best not to as these antibiotics may still interact with alcohol several hours after completing your course. You should avoid drinking alcohol for at least 24 hours after finishing a prescribed course of metronidazole, and at least 72 hours after finishing a prescribed course of tinidazole.

Dear Rishab, It is safe after antibiotics. But alcohol is not beneficial for fighting infections. Stop drinking alcohol and get many health benefits.
