Drinking alcohol

what effect does drinking alcohol have on a PM? Are there really any exceptions, too much? limits? I have a St Jude PM and went out the other night. Befor I knew it, too much fun. Anyway, any thoughts would be helpful.

It gets you drunk

I'll have a glass or two of wine or a mai tai every day. No problems so far. :)

Doesn't bother the pacer at all

Just affects the person carrying the pacer.

Effects of Alcohol on PM

Hey Scout,

Alcohol may have an effect on your heart, but it will not effect the PM. In fact I'm sure the PM can stand much more alcohol than your body can.

A pacemaker completely solved my problem. In fact, it was implanted just 7 weeks ago and I ran a race today, placed first in my age group.
