RED WINE LOWERS THE RISK OF HEART ATTACK BUT IT JUST GAVE ME ONE!

I drink almost anything and I'm usually fine all the time but for the third time in my life, I experienced a blackout after a night out of drinking 1 glass of Red Wine! It's beginning to really frighten me! I've been under a lot of good and bad stress these days and now wondering during the Pacquiao vs. Margarito fight, if stress could also be playing a big part in these blackouts especially last night! What is it with drinking red wine early before party nights that later causes me to do things that I'm not happy of the following day? It just wasn't me!

I'm a normally happy party animal with alcohol. I don't do drugs but it seems that when I drink even just a glass of red wine, I feel I'm on one... that's just my take on it the next day when reality creeps in.

The benefits of red wine suggested that moderate amount of red wine (one drink a day for women and two drinks a day for men) lowers the risk of heart attack for people in middle age by ~ 30 to 50 percent. It is also suggested that alcohol such as red wine may prevent additional heart attacks but I woke up today with an embarrassing situation. It caused me a heart attack!

It's strange because while blacked-out, I can still carry conversations and walk around normally! I am scared to even drink a drop anymore. Blackouts are considered an early high-risk indicator of alcoholism.

I am concerned with my so-called temporary insanity... totally staying away from red wine plus cutting back or setting limits on my alcohol intake from now on is the only option for me. Seriously though... red wine is literally, my poison.
