He is probably a very sick man, and in need of a pasemaker. I'm copying and pasting a section of a link dealing with the effects of alcoholism. This snippet contains info about Bradycardia. There is also mention of Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, which many have mentioned as symptomatic of *. Something is seriously wrong with our selected resident. This isn't a partisan statement, either. It's a fact.
Acute effects of alcohol:
-snip- The acute effect of alcohol on heart includes change in blood pressure depending on the dose – blood pressure usually falls/decrease with small or extremely large-doses but actually increases with moderate doses. There is dilatation of the blood vessels causing warm, flushed skin and a feeling of warmth. There is loss of heat from the body which increases the risk of hypothermia (a condition of fall of body temperature below normal). This sometimes caused death to many drunken persons found death in the open usually during winter. The acute effect of alcohol also include increased heart rate (kachy-cardia) and with huge doses, decrease in heart rate (bradycardia) -snip-
and
-snip- Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome:
The cause of this disorder in alcoholic is due to thiamine deficiency. The initial clinical presentation of Wernicke encephalopathy is usually acute with signs of abnormal eye movement, instability of low limbs and global confusion associated with mental abnormalities of disorientation, memory lapses and state of general apathy. If no prompt treatment is instituted, death occurs in about 20% of cases if Wernicke’s encephalopathy. Even after treatment, memory difficulties persist, the condition referred to as Korsakoff syndrome. -snip-
