Abstract

Research shows that reduction in alcohol intake among heavy drinkers significantly reduces systolic and diastolic BP. This effect was seen in hypertensive and nonhypertensive subjects and also in those already taking antihypertensive medications. The findings suggest that alcohol reduction should be recommended as an important component of lifestyle modification for the prevention and treatment of hypertension among heavy drinkers.
