If it makes ya feel any better, I remember reading a study about this in the early 90's. Alcohol can cause a rise in blood pressure, but it is not long lasting due to something called the 'slowpressor' effect (im pretty sure I spelled that wrong). Something to do with it working similar to a vasodilator or something... Sorry, it's way outside my purview/comfort zone.
Did you monitor your BP over an hour or two? I know mine goes up for about an hour after a glass of scotch.

Ya, mine is still high through out the day. 160s over 100 after drinking
