There are some people who cannot stop drinking alcohol even though they need to refrain from drinking. The relationship between blood pressure and alcohol consumption is a very complicated one.

High blood pressure can be caused by a variety of things, but in this article, I will talk about the general situation. Some people with high blood pressure have high blood pressure due to arteriosclerosis.

Arteriosclerosis is the hardening of the arteries caused by rusty cholesterol sticking to the arteries and causing blood clots.

Actually, when you drink a little bit of alcohol, your blood vessels relax a little, that is, your blood vessels dilate a little, which is why your blood pressure may drop a little right after drinking alcohol.

However, if you drink too much alcohol, the rusting effect of acetaldehyde on the body will be higher.

If you have high blood pressure, you should not drink large amounts of alcohol, even if it is in general amounts. Consuming a large amount of alcohol can increase blood pressure in the opposite direction.

Therefore, even if you have a normal ability to metabolize alcohol, I think that at most a glass or two of wine, a cup of sake, or a bottle of beer is safe. Do not drink heavily.
