A member asked:

What's the risks of having very mild hbp and going out and having a few drinks?

Dr. Jerome Zacks answered

Specializes in Cardiology

2 issues: Mild hypertension carries an increased risk of heart attack, stroke and heart failure. Get it treated to 125/80 or lower. Most data on alcoholic beverages suggest you should limit your intake to 2 modest-sized drinks/day or less, and never drink and drive.
