A member asked:

Is it good for drinking beer for high blood pressure?

6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Not at all: You may have a beer a day but never consider it as good "treatment" for hypertension.

No: Drinking beer adds additional calories and weight to your body. The more your drink, the higher your weight is. The higher your weight is, then it is more likely that your high blood pressure will worsen.
