Any boozing can cause your blood pressure to go up, a new study shows.
Even slight increases in alcohol consumption are associated with higher blood pressure, researchers reported Wednesday in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Stopping drinking, or even cutting back, might lead to reductions in blood pressure that would lower a person's risk of stroke or heart disease, researchers said.
The results challenge long-standing assumptions that a drink here or there won't meaningfully affect a person's blood pressure, experts said.
