Brief Answer:
You can travel but not have few drinks.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I think you can travel by car 100 miles overnight ,there is no risk from driving if you have atrial fibrillation and anemia. Also taking count that last ECG was normal you can safely travel by car.
I don't think you can have few drinks on trip.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
