Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for your query. You have history of high blood pressure. I would strictly advise you against consuming even limited quantity of alcohol since alcohol has propensity to worsen diabetis (high sugar), hypertension (high BP), make you obese and also result in cardiac (heart) disease. Consuming alcohol after T.Amlodipine can also cause giddiness due to fluctuation in blood pressure. If you wish to quit alcohol, effective anti-craving , deterrant medication and counselling techniques like motivation enhancement are available. I would repeat kindly avoid alcohol. Wish you good health.
