A member asked:

Why does my heart rate the next morning even after drinking 1-2 beers become over 100? say 125 bpm! but blood pressure is 110/70 or lower.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Heart Rate ETOH: Both binge drinking and long-term drinking can affect how quickly a heart beats.The heart depends on an internal pacemaker system to keep it pumping consistently and at the right speed. Alcohol disturbs this pacemaker system and causes the heart to beat too rapidly, or irregularly. More commonly secondary to atrial fibrillation
