Is it normal for your heart rate to increase when you drink alcohol? i'm super paranoid

ItCan'Creep'UpOnYou: Only during a drunken brawl or while running away from the police.But not usually.Alcohol's a sedative and should mellow people out but, as we all know,it can go the other way too due to its dis-inhibitory effects so maybe that's your reaction on a small scale.You have mixed drinks?Maybe something in them.Or maybe it's the creep staring at you from the dance floor.Also,alcohol can dehydrate you.
