What Is Too Many Drinks for Women?
Thursday, Dec 4, 2008CNN Health has an interesting video segment on a study that sets a benchmark for women and how much they drink. Now it's not about how much you drink before you're wasted: this is more for a health reason.
So you women: Do you ever get that feeling in your chest after you wake up after a long night out drinking that is like a "trout flapping around in your chest"?
That feeling is called atrial fibrillation, or abnormal heartbeat, and women that drink more than two drinks on average will increase their risk of getting it.
So not that doesn't mean if you drink more than two drinks you'll be getting heart problems (or else 3/4 of our partygoers would be in big trouble), but as the doctor says it's a good guide to go by. Watch the whole segment at CNN.com.
