What to do if i have breathing problems when i drink alcohol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't drink alcohol!: Usually alcohol intake in moderation (2 drinks a day, but not 14 on Saturday night!) do not cause any cardiac problems. HOWEVER: drinking large amounts of alcohol may acutely affect cardiac function and make the heart acutely weak. Long term alcohol may deteriorate the heart to the point of dilated cardiomyopathy with subsequent heart failure. Other explanation could be aspiration into lungs.
