This "problem" is quite good. Many people in life often drink alcohol under the excuse of "drinking can lower blood pressure", but in fact, this problem is not so simple. "Drinking can lower blood pressure" is a rumor. Regular drinking will only increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as high blood pressure and stroke. If you want to be healthy, you can only stop drinking.
Why does drinking lower blood pressure?
Fundamentally speaking, after you drink alcohol, your blood pressure will indeed decrease by a certain amount, but this maintenance time is very short, and then your blood pressure will rebound, and the rebound is very high, long-term or heavy drinking It will only make your blood pressure higher and higher.
After alcohol enters the liver, it will be metabolized in two steps. First, the alcohol will be converted into acetaldehyde by the action of alcohol dehydrogenase, and then it will continue to be converted into acetic acid by the action of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. It will be decomposed into water and carbon dioxide and some heat.
The reason why blood pressure drops just after drinking alcohol is mainly related to two reasons; one is that acetaldehyde is generated during the metabolism of alcohol, and acetaldehyde will cause the expansion of blood vessels, which will cause the expansion of blood vessels. Lower blood pressure; second, because alcohol itself has a certain diuretic effect, the process of drinking will increase urination, and the body will sweat during the process of decomposing acetic acid (a metabolite of alcohol), both urination and sweating This leads to a partial decrease in blood volume, which will also cause a decrease in blood pressure.
"Hypertension" diagnosis and treatment has a clear description of the "relationship between blood pressure and drinking":
These people should be prohibited from drinking:
talks about "no alcohol", which means "no drop". Some people must not deceive themselves by "drinking only a little". Drinking is very strange. Some people find it difficult to stop once they start, so it’s better not to start drinking.
For people with high blood pressure, liver disease, heart disease, gout, hemorrhagic gastrointestinal disease, glaucoma, high myopia, pregnant and lactating women and children, it is required to "not drink alcohol" (note This is not a "recommendation").
Get rid of the "bad habits" in the process of drinking—no matter who you drink with, please do not persuade you:
"Persuading alcohol" is a very unreliable thing Drinking a small amount of delight will hurt your body; drinking too much will make you feel uncomfortable, and likewise a friend will hurt your body if you drink too much. Therefore, please maintain good virtue, drink less by yourself, and at the same time do not persuade or fight alcohol. Your mood is more important than the amount of alcohol you drink.
Drinking will inevitably increase your blood pressure, and it is only a matter of time; whether you have high blood pressure or not, please "do not drink. Drink less"; pay attention to health and refuse unhealthy lifestyle habits. Your life is not tormented by disease.
