Same as me: So do i. Alcohol has benefits, but more negative aspects. Alcohol is toxic to heart muscle, brain tissue, bone marrow, and liver in any dose. Drink less and reduce caffeine as tea, coffee, colas + meds like Claritin (loratadine) d. Avoid sweets which are also kickers to the heart via insulin. See www.Thepmc.Org website for more. Hrs, md.
