 This study found that reducing alcohol intake can lower blood pressure in individuals who consume more than two drinks per day. The greatest reductions in blood pressure were seen when individuals reduced their alcohol intake by approximately half. This suggests that reducing alcohol intake may be beneficial for those who are at risk of developing high blood pressure.
