I had an aortic aneurysm with dissection and had a pace maker put in. would it be alright for me to have alcoholic drinks?

IN MODERATION: In general, it would be ok to have an occassional glass of wine or beer or cocktail, but you really need to get a final ok from your doctors. Some of your meds could make it difficult to consume alcohol. Good luck.

Probably not: You've already had 2 near death experiences and if your taking all the meds prescribed for you i'd stop drinking and smoking now. Good luck!
