title: On call.  My husband was just released from the hospital after a mild heart  attack.  He's never been much of a drinker, but now he wants to have wine with dinner every night.  We've both heard that wine is good for the heart, but I'm worried that it may not be safe so soon after a heart attack.  I hope you can either reassure me  or restrain my husband.
