Lipitor, also known as atorvastatin, is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the body [1]. According to Verywell Health [2], moderate alcohol consumption, including white wine, may not interfere with the effectiveness of Lipitor. However, excessive alcohol consumption may increase the risk of side effects such as liver damage, muscle pain, and digestive problems. Additionally, according to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Lipidology [3], moderate alcohol consumption did not significantly affect the efficacy of atorvastatin in reducing LDL cholesterol levels. The study found that moderate alcohol consumption did not interfere with the metabolism of atorvastatin or its effectiveness in reducing cholesterol levels. However, it is important to note that excessive alcohol consumption can lead to negative health consequences and may interfere with the effectiveness of Lipitor. Therefore, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider regarding alcohol consumption while taking Lipitor.
