I have massive Cardio issues with alcohol, it sends mine through the roof, not pleasant.
So much so, that although I still enjoy a beer or 2, or occasional Wine/G&T, I rarely drink after 8pm, as going to bed with a racing ticker is not pleasant,
not to mention the sweats and broken sleep.....
We were at friends last weekend, from 2pm on.......and after 3 bottles of Corona, I had perhaps 3 glasses of Sauvignon between 4 & 7.30pm, and was suddenly aware of my racing HR. Friend who's house it was said 'Oh we can soon check that', perhaps doubting my assessment, and produced his Garmin Running Watch, which after wearing for 10mins, showed my Pulse at a steady 108/109 ish..........altho the 3/4 guys also with me who'd perhaps drunk way more, were all at 69/70 ish......
Just strengthened my resolve to avoid a lot of booze, sadly, as it clearly doesnt do good things to my ticker.
(NB - I have been checked out by a Cardiologist, all's ok 'plumbing wise', he just said many have same issues with Booze. )
