Hi
As per your record your total cholesterol ,LDL,triglycerides are high and your HDL is low.To bring down the cholesterol and triglycerides you have to reduce your alcohol intake ,you have to follow low fat diet,you have to exercise regularly and drugs like statins may help.You should not take more than two drinks a day and all drinks ,if taken in excess are harmful.
LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides cause plaque formation in blood vessels and cause a condition called atherosclerosis.So you have to start life style modification and exercise.
Hope this answers your query and if you have any further query you can write to us
