Pulmonary tuberculosis treatment is generally given for 6 months to a year depending on symptoms.AKT (anti kochs treatment )as it is hepatotoxic (liver is affected sometimes).And alcohol is also hepatotoxic(treatment ongoing +alcohol consumption )so basically the answer is NO.

No. As anti tubercular medication already affects your liver in somewhat negative way because these are taken in high doses. So if you exert further load on liver in form of alcohol or any other form. You may suffer from chronic liver conditions. So its better to avoid alcohol.
