Answer
Hi Dave, Thanks for your question. Without actually seeing you I'm sure you'll appreciate it is not possible to provide you with specific medical advice. However, you seem concerned that your high blood pressure may be linked to your drinking.
One possible option would be to return to your GP and discuss this further, perhaps being quite explicit with your concerns and upfront in terms of the amount you are drinking. Whilst there is a link between alcohol and blood pressure, blood pressure problems can have many causes.
I've included a link a for web-site that may provide you with a bit more information.
