What the researchers found was that being a binge drinker and having hypertension was the biggest risk factor for death from cardiovascular factors.
Separately, the two conditions did not increase the risk of cardiovascular death by nearly so much as the two conditions together: 1.8 times for males being only heavy binge drinkers and two (2) times for males only with hypertension (when compared to nondrinkers with normal blood pressure).
They concluded: 'Binge drinkers and heavy binge drinkers with Grade 3 hypertension showed a marked increase in cardiovascular mortality risk. Even after adjusting for total alcohol consumption, the former revealed 4.41 and the latter indicated 12.7 of HR for the risk of cardiovascular mortality.'
