I am taking rosuvas for high cholesterol. can i drink alcohol occasionally while taking this medicine.

Yes: Small amounts of alcohol (6-12 oz of wine daily for example) have been shown to be helpful and can raise HDL (good cholesterol). The French have known about this for ages ("the French Paradox").
