Small amounts of alcohol are not recommended for hypertensive patients, and abstinence from alcohol is recommended for hypertensive patients. Hypertension is a clinical syndrome characterized by increased arterial blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) with or without functional or organic damage to the heart, kidneys, brain and other organs. However, because the metabolite of alcohol in the body, acetaldehyde, is classified as a carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is capable of inducing DNA mutation and promoting apoptosis in the body, it is not recommended to drink alcohol. To summarize, patients with high blood pressure are advised not to drink alcohol. If there is discomfort, it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible, under the guidance of the doctor standardized treatment.
