Alcohol is also known to increase blood pressure, raising the risk of heart disease. A 2023 study published in the journal Hypertension found that as people drank more alcohol, their blood pressure went up. This was true for systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP).
Drinking just one glass can also increase the risk of a type of heart arrhythmia known as atrial fibrillation, according to a 2021 report in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine.
Alcohol can also increase a person’s risk of developing cancer. When the body metabolizes alcohol, it produces acetaldehyde, a toxic compound that can damage DNA and proteins in cells, leading to mutations and the potential growth of cancer cells.
It can also increase estrogen levels in women, which has been linked to a greater risk of developing breast cancer and other hormone-related cancers.
