TL;DR
After a rabies vaccination course in Tbilisi, doctors typically ban alcohol for the ~3-week course plus one month after, to ensure the vaccine works properly. Restrictions vary by clinic and individual case.
What the community said
For comparison, in Russia doctors ban alcohol for a full year after rabies vaccination and also restrict gym workouts temporarily — this is to let immunity properly develop and the vaccine work, plus there's a risk of allergic reactions.

A real case of vaccination in Tbilisi after a dog bite: the injection course took about 3 weeks, with alcohol banned during that time plus one extra month afterward. The doctor warned about possible allergic reactions, noting restrictions are individual, similar to antibiotic courses.
