How long after 10 day fluconazole (200mg) treatment should I wait before consuming alcohol?

Again, I really appreciate your responses. No, I do not have a medical background, I have just been slightly paranoid about it because this was the first time that I have seen this doctor due to switching insurance, and my previous doctor moved to another city. I do not think my current doctor has any of my previous medical history. He basically came in and looked at the rashes for a minute and prescribed me the fluconazole. The doctor made sure to tell me not to drink with the medication, so that prompted me to do some research on the subject. All of that said, even though I seem to be healthy, the multiple fungal rashes had me worried. I also have had dandruff on my scalp and chest hair that I have spoken about with a dermatologist a few years(~4) ago. He prescribed me fluocinonide drops and told me to try different otc dandruff shampoos. Of those shampoos, the only one that actually seemed to work was Nizoral (Ketoconazole), and he prescribed me a stronger Ketoconazole shampoo which helped immensely.

My first plan with this drug was to abstain from alcohol for two days, then start the drug. After the ten days of using the drug abstain from alcohol for another two days. But after my research I have been wondering if I needed to abstain longer. I am able to abstain for as long as possible, but I personally like having beers on Sundays during football season, so I asked this question just to try and figure out a time frame.

When you say take five half lives and double it and wait ten, do you mean take the number of half life hours (30-35), multiply by five half lives (5), and double that number (2) and then wait ten more days after that? Or am I misinterpreting things? Maybe take half life hours (30-35), multiply by five (*5), and then add ten days? I'm sorry if I seem daft on the subject.

Again, I sincerely appreciate your help.
