A member asked:
I am a 19 year old with a blood pressure hovering around 150/95, this is slightly high. should i worry about consuming alcohol on occasion with this?

Yes: More so is to be concerned about the numbers, relatively high blood pressure, if consistently the same, the cut-off points are recommended below 135/85. Yours may creep higher, you might be overweight/obese with other risk factors, kindly work your doctor to control your blood pressure, losing weight, exercising, eating healthy and having good night sleep are the pillars for good health, good luck
