Dark amber urine is usually very concentrated and means that you should be drinking more water. Foods, medications and even vitamins can change the color of urine temporarily but eliminating the cause brings the color back to normal.
How Alcohol Affects Blood Pressure. Drinking heavy amounts of alcohol over time will cause your blood pressure to rise. When you consume alcohol above a level that your body can regularly process is causes your blood pressure to increase. For the duration of your drinking, and for some time after your blood pressure will remain elevated.
This is because alcohol acts as a diuretic, which means that it dehydrates the drinker. A person who is dehydrated may subsequently become constipated, and they will need to strain when opening their bowels. Binge drinking can also raise blood pressure, which in turn adds pressure to the veins in the anal area.
