If an object is changing its velocity -whether by a constant amount or a varying amount - then it is an accelerating object. And an object with a constant velocity is not accelerating. The data tables below depict motions of objects with a constant acceleration and a changing acceleration.
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.
How much does heavy drinking contribute to high blood pressure? About 2 to 4 mm/Hg in systolic blood pressure and 1 to 2 mm/Hg in diastolic blood pressure, notes Sheldon G. Sheps, M.D., of MayoClinic.com. Systolic blood pressure is the top number in a blood pressure reading and diastolic appears as the bottom number.
