Depends.....: Agree with dr. Minich that any drink of alcohol can potentially raise blood pressure, but according to the mayo clinic, if you worry, you should consume alcohol only in moderation. Moderate drinking is generally considered to be: two drinks a day for men younger than age 65 one drink a day for men age 65 and older one drink a day for women of any age.
