Keep it light. Beer and wine are your best choices when it comes to consuming alcohol, but they still have calories. Try to choose light beers; regular beer contains 150 calories a bottle, whereas light beer has 100 (none of these beers has fat). The new low-carb beers are somewhat lower in calories than the light versions, and nonalcoholic beer is still lower, at about 70 calories per drink.
While five ounces of dry wine or champagne will cost you only 100 calories — both relatively good choices — watch out for sweet dessert wine, which has 226 calories (for five ounces).

If you have heart disease of this magnitude they mean all of it. It counter acts with the medicine as does smoking and recreational drugs. The risk far out weighs the brief high. There are other things you can enjoy - grab a cookbook designed for entertaining - in the back is a beverage recipe section specifically for non-alcoholic beverages. They are delicious and clever - you won't miss drinking if you feel you aren't missing out. It is of course your decision and you take the risk - but consider this if you drink and suffer heart failure you may be denied transplant as a healthier candidate will be a lower risk of rejection. Good Luck!

the problem with alchohol is that it is very high in sugar, the calories in a single alchoholic beverage is rather high and because of this they recomend that you stay away from them all together.
aside from the caloric content, they also cause you to become more thirsty, and thus you would drink more, and with the thirst comes the hunger, it just caused you to want to take in many calories than you should have.
