Your right alcohol should not be a reason I'm a beer drinker and have cut my consumption greatly seems to help. I was probably afraid I couldn't drink anymore.that to me is not a good reason to go through with ablation.seems like doctor rushed me into ablation.

I've had it done, and decided only after I was having 3-5 episodes per month. If it had been 7 months since my episode, it wouldn't have even been on my radar. Question: What is so important about alcohol that it would make you sign off for this procedure? Sorry, but I don't get it.
