hey i am 17 years old and was wonder if an elevated heart while drinking is dangerous? i don't drink much but when i do i notice an elevated heart rate to about 90-100 bpm when my normal heart rate is 60 bpm. i have read that the increased heart rate is a pretty common side effect from alcohol, it haven't read on if its dangerous or not. i am wonder if anyone else has this same problem and if they are still currently drinking, and if its an actual problem?
