  1. Is it alright to drink some wine at dinner and take 10 mg of Zocor at
    bedtime? I keep hearing that red wine in moderation is good for
    cholesterol and the arteries and maybe even help raise HDL.

    There have been studies that have shown that a daily glass of red wine
    can increase HDL. However, you should discuss this with your doctor
    because there are contraindications.
