Please don't drink "a few glasses" just one or two. Let things settle down a bit and then you might find what triggers your AF .

Hi Moggdog

I am not going to recommend it, and I drink virtually not at all, but when on holiday in France I was drinking 3 or 4 glasses a day with no side effects and I am on Diltiazem.
