Alcohol can cause high blood pressure by prompting the body to release certain hormones that constrict blood vessels and raise heart rate. Additionally, excessive drinking can lead to weight gain, which is a significant risk factor for hypertension. Alcohol also disrupts the balance of electrolytes and can affect kidney function, further contributing to increased blood pressure. Regular heavy drinking is particularly linked to these negative cardiovascular effects.
