Hi I do care for your concern Yes definitely consuming more alcohol will increase your blood pressure. You have not mentioned your age and occupation. If I were your treating doctor then I would advise Stopping alcohol Chat Doctor.  To start on medications such as Lisinopril and would monitor your blood pressure for every two weeks. Hope I have answered your question. If you have more feel free to ask. Thank you.
