01 Aug 2023 --- A study with 19,548 participants across the US, Japan and Korea has found adverse health effects of drinking alcohol regularly as blood pressure increases over the years, even for those not suffering from hypertension. Alcohol consumption was positively associated with increasing blood pressure for both men and women. They found no threshold for a “below level” of alcohol consumption to avoid this. Therefore they stress that consuming alcohol at any level is considered a risk.
