Brief Answer:
I would not recommend working out after alcohol intake.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that alcohol intake can trigger cardiac arrhythmia. This is also called " Holiday heart syndrome".
From the other hand workout ( physical activity) can increase heart rate and even trigger cardiac arrhythmia in susceptible persons.
So I would not recommend working out the day after drinking alcohol, because you may trigger cardiac arrhythmia.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
