Alcohol does precipitate premature beats so it should be avoided. I don't have an answer as to why you seem to having fewer palpitations after a glass of alcohol, but it just may be the placebo effect. Thus, I don't recommend complete cessation of alcohol for most patients. However, you are in a different category with palpitations, so I recommend that you avoid all alcohol. For further recommendations, you will need to speak to your own physician.
