I took a booster for rabies. After 2 months I was bitten by a bat on the way to home after work. I used to drink alcohol every week. I am so scared even though it's in safe zone (within 3 months time) due to the alcohol consumption. Is there any problem if I take a booster for rabies.

I presume you have taken 5 doses of vaccine. Followed by 2 booster doses. This will give immunity for one year. However alcohol is known to reduce natural immunity of body. 5 +2 post exposure doses is ok.
