A member asked:

I have high blood pressure should i take beer once in awhile? i smoke too but i am cutting down to like ten sticks a day.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

High blood pressure: Recommendations are not more than one drink per day for women or two drinks per day for men. Most importantly you should stop smoking. If your pressure is borderline, just stopping smirking will help you the most. Adding exercise will also help to lower your blood pressure.

Dr Weisberger and another doctor agreed
