Hello. Thank you for asking on HCM. I understand your concern. Alcohol intake is tolerated variously by various individual organisms. In most cases, almost always, it produces a marked widening of the vascular bed (vasodilation), which, in turn, activates a complicated response in the body, which results, among others, to speeding up the heart rate. My opinion is that, if this heart rate is regular, then there is nothing to worry about. To some extent, this happens to anyone who consumes alcohol in a certain amount, whether you get drunk or not. As a cardiologist, I would advise you not to follow these unpleasant behaviours, such as smoking tobacco or drinking large amounts of alcohol. I hope I was helpful with my answer. Take care.
