Hi,
It is okay to have a glass of wine if you take hydrochlorothiazide and Ramipril. However, taking too much alcohol (more than 14units a week) can affect the effectiveness of your blood pressure pills and also increase the risk of dehydration.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
