A member asked:

I often drink a cup of coffee in the morning and a beer at night. is it healthy for to "push" and "pull" the heart like this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No problem here!: You are not really taxing you heart with this regimen. Coffee actually is not detrimental to the heart, although some people get palpitations from it, and a beer may actually be beneficial from a vascular standpoint (though not a six pack1).
