Increases in aortic wave reflection and aortic pulsatile load are known contributors to hypertension, cardiovascular risk, and pulsatile stress to end organs. To our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate that evening binge alcohol consumption increases heart rate, aortic pulsatile load, and aortic augmentation index the following morning when compared with fluid control. These findings highlight the deleterious overnight cardiovascular effects of binge alcohol consumption in young adults.
