Instead, we’ll break down specifically what we see in WHOOP data--how alcohol directly impacts the performance metrics we track like HRV, resting heart rate, recovery, strain and sleep. Effects of Alcohol on Sleep Many people incorrectly believe that because alcohol is a sedative, it helps ...
Heart Rate Alcohol leads to a median increase in resting heart rate of 4.8%.* 74% of members experience at least some “positive” effect, which in this case isn’t a good thing at all — a higher resting heart rate can be an indication of stress on the body. LEARN MORE: All About...
Prior studies have shown that resting heart rate variability (HRV) is reduced in those with alcohol use disorders (AUD). However, HRV following an acute stressful stimulus (reactive HRV), and the relationship between resting or reactive HRV and drinking, craving and relapse in AUD have received...
Increases stress hormones: Alcohol increases your body’s levels of cortisol, a stress hormone that increases your resting heart rate and generally stimulates the body, making it more likely you’ll wake up during the night. Disrupts your circadian rhythm: Alcohol can impact your brain and liver...
indicators for alcohol dependence included daily alcohol consumption, weekly alcohol consumption and Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) scores. For physical and mental health, outcome indicators included maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), resting heart rate and anxiety, dep...
The combination of alcohol and marijuana can lead to tachycardia (a resting heart rate higher than 100 beats per minute); raised blood pressure; and increased impairment of cognitive skills, motor skills, and driving performance as compared with the use of either alcohol or marijuana alone [source...
There was also a significant effect on physical and mental status, maximal oxygen uptake, restingheart rate, anxiety state, depression state, and stress level. For number of drinks per day, anxiety, depression, and stress outcomes (I2 >50 percent), there was high heterogeneity, but Egger's ...

PA is defined as any voluntary movement produced by muscles that results in energy expenditure above resting levels [11]. The WHO recommends that children and adolescents engage in at least 60 min of moderate to vigorous PA per day due to its numerous health benefits. The organization also ...
The article presents a case report of a 45-year-old white male, freelance photographer of French ancestry with prehypertension and moderate alcohol consumption. Physical examination showed a blood pressure of 146/84 mm Hg, a resting heart rate of 65 beats/minute and a weight of 179 pounds. ...
