What is the association between alcohol and strokes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hypertension etc: There is an association between alcohol and stroke both directly and indirectly through hypertension. The rise in blood pressure could be a chronic event or rarely after excessive drinking bouts (binges) that can raise the BP and cause intracranial hemorrhage even in young people. Interference with blood clotting factors do occur as well.
