A member asked:

25 mg metoprolol daily and now im gonna drink alcohol. whats ur thoughts? do i get less drunk or more? and other interactions? negatives?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The question is how: much alcohol are you planning to drink. I assume you are on metoprolol for high blood pressure, which is unusual at your age. However, alcohol ITSELF can raise blood pressure, and is one of the more common and undetected causes of secondary hypertension. Your doctor needs to know about your drinking - how much, how often. If we are talking about 1-2 glasses of wine a few times a week, no problem
