Hi dear
As per some recent research papers it states that no amount of alcohol is good for ur body and if u already have some disease then it is all the more reason to stop any sort of addiction.
Having said that i understand that it's not easy to stop alcohol at once specially for people who have a habit of it so I would suggest that please take help from a counsellor to get rid of it .
Till then try to reduce the amount as much as possible
Take care

Drinking alcohol can affect individuals with heart conditions differently. It's crucial to consult as i can provide personalized advice based on your specific condition, medications, and overall health. In some cases, moderation or complete avoidance of alcohol may be recommended.
