Answer 1

B. Increase your blood pressure
Alcohol is hard on the heart. It can trigger chronic heart conditions, and ongoing problems with blood pressure.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option B. Increase your blood pressure.

Step-by-step explanation:

The circulatory system or the cardiovascular system deals with the circulation of the blood through the body with the help of the heart that pumps the blood.

It is affected by alcohol consumption as it dilates the blood in the response to this heart and has to increase the rate of pumping the blood to provide the same amount of the blood to the body. It can increase a temporary increase in blood pressure and a high heartbeat.

Thus, the correct answer is option b. Increase in blood pressure.
