Summary
New research reveals that even one drink a day can raise your blood pressure and cholesterol, putting you at greater risk for heart attacks and strokes. A global study of over 19,000 people found a clear link between alcohol and elevated systolic pressure—even at low intake levels. Men showed stronger diastolic increases with drinking, while women didn’t show the same pattern. Surprisingly, there’s no health benefit to low alcohol use compared to abstaining. Experts recommend cutting back, aiming for alcohol-free days, and prioritizing lifestyle changes like exercise and healthy eating to protect your heart.
