Yes, drinking too much whiskey can raise blood pressure, especially for heavy drinkers or those who have been drinking for a long time. Alcohol can have both short-term and long-term effects on blood pressure:
Short-term
High doses of alcohol can lower blood pressure for up to 12 hours, but then raise it again after 13 hours. Alcohol also increases heart rate for up to 24 hours.
Long-term
Heavy alcohol consumption can lead to chronic diseases like hypertension, high cholesterol, and heart disease. Alcohol can also increase the risk of other health complications that can also cause high blood pressure, such as diabetes and excess weight.

Okay, it is a legitimate English word but in 75 years I have never heard a person use it (and I have several pedantic linguist friends). I came across it in a crossword puzzle.:
Rodomontade (which can also be spelled rhodomontade) originated in Italian poetry. Rodomonte was a fierce and boastful king in Orlando Innamorato, Count Matteo M. Boiardo's late 15th century epic, and later in the 1516 sequel Orlando Furioso, written by poet Lodovico Ariosto. In the late 16th century, English speakers began to use rodomont as a noun meaning "braggart." Soon afterwards, rodomontade entered the language as a noun meaning "empty bluster" or "bragging speech," and later as an adjective meaning "boastful" or "ranting."

Seeing @dirtdude's query about how to stretch out our fun with the next guy who wants to sell cigars made me remember some fun from way back in my stoner days;
My brother and I would have some buddies over at our condo, smoking weed and bending some elbows... this would've been in the mid-70's... our phone would ring and it would be a wrong number, they'd be asking for Dave and of course, Dave wasn't there. My brother would tell the caller to hold on and hand me the phone. Me; "Hello?" The caller; "You're not Dave." Me, in a fake surprised voice; "Oh, you wanted Dave. Hold on." I'd hand the phone to the next guy; "Hello?" The caller, getting a little hot under the caller; "You're not Dave! Put Dave on." Next guy gets the phone, "Hello?" and so on, and so forth. Great fun, seeing how long we could string someone along.
"eponymous debut album" is pretty much the only context in which I recall ever encountering the word eponymous. Maybe a few times in the description of a book title. But, I can honestly say I've never heard anyone say it firsthand, and in cases of recorded speech I have heard where someone may have come close to saying it, they said self-titled instead. Many roads and bridges and buildings are eponymous but I only ever heard of albums and books described as such. After looking up the definition once again, I came across a synonym that is just plain fun, titular. Are the Grand Tetons titular?

Interesting how the shapes are mainly circular. 🤔🤓🤓
A good cigar and whiskey solve most problems.
