Hi,

The usual dose of viagra is 50-100 mg and you took a very high dose. While viagra in usual dosage is safe with low amount of alcohol, combining large amounts of both causes low blood pressure resulting in fast heart beats. Now that you are better, I do not expect any long term adverse effects, but I would like you to know that it could have been fatal. So please do not do this again.

Hope this has been of help. Best wishes.
