Here, perhaps, one should distinguish between hangovers and addictions. Anyone will have a hangover the next day. Addiction manifests itself in alcoholics who decide to quit. They will feel bad, and in a couple of days a squirrel may come. This is a separate sad story.
Even one drink of alcohol raises blood pressure for a couple of hours. The exact mechanisms behind this surprising effect have not been studied.
If you get drunk well, then the pressure will be increased for three days. And most of all - on the first day (the same hangover).
It is clear that the more and longer they drink, the higher the pressure will be. But after a few days of abstinence, this business returns to normal.
It is generally accepted that if you stop drinking a lot, then the upper pressure will drop somewhere by 5.5 millimeters of mercury, and the lower - by 4 millimeters of mercury.
To stop drinking a lot means men, instead of 4 drinks a day, switch to 2 drinks, and women, instead of 3 drinks a day, switch to 1 drink a day.
If anyone has forgotten, we here call 350 ml of beer, 150 ml of wine or 45 ml of vodka drinks.
What to do if pressure rises later
If the pressure scales in the morning? I had to drink less the day before.
There are no magic pills that the ambulance team would throw at you.
It is believed that in such cases, calcium antagonists such as amlodipine, inhibitors angiotensin-converting enzyme like lisinopril and angiotensin receptor blockers like losartan. Reminds, by the way, morning pressure treatment from anyone. But no hard recommendations have been developed on this score. So drink less.
