so I drink too much. can easily drink every night and while I wouldn't say I get drunk often, I drink more than most people would be considered moderate (4-6 a night).
I'm also on blood pressure medication. I've been managing high BP for a few years and kind of stabilised (high but acceptable rate). last 6 months my drinking has been as regular as mentioned above.
my 6mo check up last week was a hell of a wakeup call. despite being more physically active than ever, my BP was 190/110.
people, drinking will kill if you drink too much. I don't want to die. but I now see I have a problem and I want to fix it. I'm only 41
