All raise BP: Alcohol increases blood pressure. Each 10 gram of alcohol (less than in a 12 ounce beer) per day will increase BP by 1 mmhg. So 4 beers a day BP will increase by about 5 mmhg. In long term studies that has been shown to increase risk of stroke and heart attack by about 20%. Alcohol at low amounts (1-2 drinks/day) raises good cholesterol which has heart benefits. Best to drink in moderation.
