When alcohol enters your body, your pulse quickens after just one unit. Alcohol is a vasodilator – it makes the peripheral blood vessels relax to allow more blood to flow through the skin and tissues, which results in a drop in blood pressure.

The line is also a reference to a famous Finnish vodka brand, Finlandia Vodka
