Is it ok to have two drinks a day while taking medication for high cholesterol and high blood pressure?

Depends!: First, it depends upon your gender (men can have up to 2 drinks/d while women should only have 1 drink/d). Second, it depends upon how large are your drinks! standard or vegas size? Third, it depends upon which medications you're taking. In general, alcohol can be consumed in moderation w/most medications but you'll need to address your specific regimen w/your family physician (and pharmacist).

No: Alcohol is a poison that never did anybody any good, ever, so stay away from it.
