A member asked:

Whenever i get drunk i notice my heart rate increase to 100-110 bpm (fitness tracker says). also the next morning it beats fast too. is this normal?

Poison: You may be sensitive to the poisonous nature of alcohol. it can directly affect the heart muscle. But, more likely, alcohol can be a stimulant and that in itself will cause a rapid heart beat. If you really hung one on, you still will be stimulated - with a headache!
