...from it? I turned 21 yesterday and had my first alcoholic drink (Malibu with pineapple juice). After it, my heart was beating loudly and fast. My friend told me that is normal (didn't find it too pleasant though). Is it hurting my heart to make it beat so fast? It feels so unnatural when you aren't doing any physical activity. Oh, another important detail, I take 125 mg of Zoloft per day for an anxiety disorder. I hear that increases the effects of alcohol. I wonder if that is why my heart was racing....
