Hi
With already cardiac stents in situ it is really not good for the heart.
Due to increased chances of atherosclerosis, because ot alcohol, the chances of stent failure are too high
Better to tell the reality to his treating doctor, or to get him counselled with a good psychiatric doctor
Take care
