How long after drinking alcohol is it safe to eat durian again?
This inability to mix durian with alcohol has the status of a food myth. To quote the dietetic department at Changi Hospital
Eating durian and drinking beer at the same time may kill you
There is no scientific evidence to show that this is a lethal combination. It is more likely to cause bloating, indigestion and discomfort as your liver has to work extra hard to metabolise both fats and sugars in the durians and the alcohol, especially if you have consumed both in excessive amounts.
Note also that the paper you quoted says in vivo studies failed to support a relationship.
In any case if you wanted to avoid a possible disulfiram reaction it depends on how much alcohol has been consumed, and your metabolism. And you can check with a breath alcohol analyser
