A member asked:
Would daily intake of scotch whiskey cause any heart trouble?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Significant alcohol intake can cause heart damage(cardiomyopathy). Binge drinking can lead to arrythmias like atrial fibrillation. 1-2 drinks daily should not cause a problem.However moderation is best.
