high blood pressure is a risk factor for myocaridial infarction, stroke, and kidney failure. alcohol is not a major killer of these organs but it is against liver. very small amount of alcohol (wine) has been said to be protective against mycardial infarction but this is just for those with no comorbid conditions like hypertension. even in the former case this is controversial. you need to save your liver just in case you encounter a problem with your other organs as a consequence of hypertension. so, i can conclude that small amount of alcohol might have no additional side effect to your hypertension. but you'd better stop it just because you don't want to see terrible effect of alcohol on your liver. if you are a moderate to heavy drinker you would give it up or go down to minimal consumption then.
i hope this help
i am a MD

If you have to drink drink red wine. Beer is made of yeast and salt those are the two things a person with HBP should not have in any amount. Your heart condition is nothing to play around with.
