People who Drinks more than Two drinks a day have a 34% Higher risk of stroke compared those whose daily average amounts to less than half a drink, thy also found that people who drink a lot In their 50s & 60s tend to suffer from strokes earlier in life than light drinkers.

Other Study revealed that its not clear on how alcohol affect Stroke risk, But there is in fact that Alcohol thins your blood. This increase your risk of hemorrhagic Stroke, in which Blood vessel breaks inside the brain “ The More you drink, the more risk you have of bleeding in the brain,” Said Dr. Irene Katzan, A staff neurologist and director of center of Outcomes Research and Evaluation at Cleveland Clinic.

Heavy Drinking Leads to many high risk of High Blood Pressure, Which is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps blood. If this pressure rises and stays high over time, it can damage the body in many ways.
