How Much Can A Heart Patient Drink?

In the first week of November this year, I suffered from severe chest pain (unbearable). I was moved to the Hospital immediately. On conducting Angiography they found a problem with my Left Anterior Descending artery and the Right coronary artery. They put two stents in the RCA but did not touch the LAD. for good reasons known to them. Since then I am doing absolutely fine. Walk about a mile in the afternoons every day, go to work, drive etc. I am 78 years old. I am a moderate drinker. How much Whisky, Beer and Vodka I should have

hi,
While i recommend my patient to suit drinking. But it is advice to avoid binge drinking.
Recommended maximum daily intake would be around,3-4 units a day for you.
1 unit of alcohol is roughly half a pint of normal strength large bear, a small glass of wine or a single measure (25ml ) spirits.
