Implication

Hypothesis-generating for alcohol effects on ABP in normotensives; should not yet change clinical practice.

Structured PICO

Does alcohol consumption increase ambulatory blood pressure in healthy, normotensive adults?

P
Population
157 nonsmoking adults free of hypertension and cardiovascular disease
I
Intervention
Self-reported alcohol consumption (total weekly intake, specific beverages, and binge drinking)
C
Comparator
No alcohol consumption or lower levels of consumption
O
Outcome
Mean 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (ABP), ABP variability, and ABP arterial stiffness indexsurrogate

Even in healthy, normotensive adults, habitual alcohol consumption and binge drinking are associated with higher ambulatory blood pressure.
