Abstract
Alcohol is a common risk factor in the general population for a variety of health outcomes. In the present review, we discuss the recent literature on alcohol, hypertension, and renal disease. The regular consumption of more than two drinks per day is associated with both hypertension and renal disease. The mechanisms by which consumption of alcohol leads to hypertension and perhaps renal disease are unknown.Entities:
