If you have high blood pressure, binge drinking may severely increase your risk of dying from a stroke or heart disease.

The study followed more than 6,100 residents, 55 years and older, of an agricultural community in South Korea for almost 21 years.
Overall, about 15 percent of men said they were moderate binge drinkers and about 3 percent said they were heavy binge drinkers.
However, because less than one percent of the women were reportedly binge drinkers, no conclusions could be made about the combined impact of high blood pressure and binge drinking in women, said Heechoul Ohrr, senior author of the study and professor in the Department of Preventive Medicine at Yonsei University College of Medicine in Seoul, South Korea.
The study has been reported in Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association.
