Lipitor, also known as atorvastatin, is a medication used to treat high cholesterol levels in the blood. The medication works by blocking an enzyme that produces cholesterol in the liver [1]. According to Verywell Health, alcohol consumption can increase the risk of liver damage and may interfere with the effectiveness of atorvastatin [2]. Additionally, Sutter Health recommends avoiding alcohol consumption when taking medications for high cholesterol, as alcohol can interfere with the medication's effectiveness and increase the risk of side effects [3]. Therefore, it is not recommended to consume alcohol while taking Lipitor. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before consuming alcohol while taking any medication.
