Hi. Thanks for posting your question at HCM.
The amount of alcohol consumption which you have taken is not directly linked with rise of BP as told by you. But as you having hypertension or increase in BP at younger age, I advise you to rule out secondary causes of hypertension. you should get your USG KUB ,Renal doppler and urine for metanephrines level. You can continue with Tab. Metoprolol 25 mg in your case as it will help to control your heart rate also. Avoid stress, do some Yoga and morning walk daily and keep yourself calm. No need to worry at present but keep a check on your blood pressure.
