High blood pressure: Worst alcoholic drinks for your blood pressure

For those with high blood pressure, it’s advised to “avoid alcohol or drink alcohol only in moderation”.

What is moderate drinking?

According to the Mayo Clinic, moderate drinking is generally considered to be two drinks a day for men younger than age 65.

For men 65 and older, having one alcoholic beverage is classified as moderate drinking.

This is true for women of any age, who are advised to only have one drink.
