According to Verywell Health, drinking alcohol while taking Lipitor may increase the risk of liver damage and other side effects [2]. In addition, Health Harvard states that alcohol consumption can interfere with the effectiveness of statins like Lipitor, which may lead to an increased risk of heart disease and stroke [3].
