He was working all day probably had little food and had not slept too great all week. Probably dehydrated and heat stroked as well. His body was saying, "Dumbass" slow down and go to sleep for 16 hours so I can replenish. And yes Alcohol can cause a heart attack. It thins out the blood causing it to flow faster which means the heart doesn't have to pump it as hard which lowers the preasure. It's like taking a paint sprayer and putting water in it it doesn't work right cause it's not used to pumping somthing so thin.

His blood pressure was low because he was dehydrated. When you drink, the alcohol acts as a diuretic. In other words, you don't absorb the water that you need from beer. And, since you are made up mostly of water, that is a very bad thing. That's also why you pee so much when you drink - the liquid that you are consuming (beer) is just going right through you!
