    Many people like to drink alcohol and think it is good for their health. In fact, this is a very wrong idea. American research found that 10 minutes after drinking alcohol, the blood alcohol concentration will increase. Excessive alcohol consumption can weaken the strength of the heart muscles and cause irregular blood flow. Therefore, alcoholics are often plagued by cardiomyopathy, with heart muscle relaxation and sagging, manifested by shortness of breath, arrhythmia, persistent coughing and other symptoms.
