A member asked:

I had a radiofrequency ablation to my heart in october of last year. can i drink alcohol?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably yes: Depends upon why you had the ablation and what your specific problem was but probably yes - in moderation. Conditions where i would try to limit alcohol as much as possible would include af ablation or VT ablation.
