What effect does drinking alcohol have on a person with hypothyroidism?

Alcohol intoxication acts as a poison to cellsthroughout the body. When these cells are highly stressed by a severe medical condition like hyperthyroidism, the damage done is multiplied many times over. The greatest immediate risk is to the heart, which can develop fatal arrhythmia from either alcohol intoxication alone or hyperthyroidism alone. I have a patient now who has hyperthyroidism and is not permitted by his endocrinologist to have prolonged sun exposure or any physical exercise for 6 months, and he is a robust 17 year old! If such mundane stresses as a few minutes in the sun or a run around the block are deemed dangerous, then how much more would alcohol be an extreme risk!
