Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Regular alcohol consumption has disparate cardiovascular effects, potentially protecting against coronary events while increasing hypertension risk at higher doses.
Studying coronary risk factors, this article concludes that: regular use of alcohol may protect against major coronary events; regular use of three or more drinks daily is a probable risk factor for hypertension; the relations of alcohol use to coronary disease, hypertension, and cardiomyopathy are disparate.
