Get checked out: There are a couple reasons the heart rate can race after drinking too much alcohol. One is being dehydrated and a faster pulse is a normal response. The other, however, is an abnormal rhythm called atrial fibrillation. This rhythm can cause a fast and irregular pulse and requires medical treatment. If your pulse remains fast during the day, you should get medical attention.
