Patients with cerebral infarction should not drink alcohol. Although alcohol can have certain effects in promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, the specific content of alcohol and its degree, as well as each person's tolerance, vary. While in some cases, certain components can promote blood circulation, this does not mean it always activates blood circulation. In fact, excessive promotion of blood circulation at times can even lead to cerebral hemorrhage and other changes in medical conditions, posing even greater risks to patients. Another point is that drinking alcohol can cause excitement, which may lead to increased blood pressure. If there are plaques or other impurities in the arteries, they might dislodge and lead to further exacerbation of cerebral infarction. Therefore, it is also advised not to drink alcohol for these reasons.
