Hi i do care for your concern
Yes definitely consuming more alcohol will increase your blood pressure.
You have not mentioned your age and occupation.
If i were your treating doctor then i would advise
To stop alcohol drinking.
To start on medications such as lisnopril and would monitor your blood pressure for every two weeks.

normal blood presure should be in range of 120 by 80. your bp is high and in very dangerous zone. you should consult your doctor asap so that hr should prescribe you medicine after taking your history and taking in account other factors. and should have life style changes with medications. like atoo taking alcohol and indulge your self in ohysical activities . and consult a cardialogist asap.
