Excess drinking could lead to abnormal heart beating

Categories: Diet & Weight Loss

If you're a heavy drinker (and I don't mean soft drinks), you may be putting yourself at heavier risk of heart problems, according to new research.

Atrial fibrillation, which can lead to a stroke or heart failure, cold be more prevalent in those that drink more often, say British researchers. The same researchers found that reducing alcohol consumption even a little bit makes a big difference.

If you're a responsible drinker but still engage in drinking too often, the results of this study may be of particular importance to you. What do you think? Is drinking in moderation the solution? From many points of view, it may be. Best advice: don't overindulge in any activity -- drinking included.
