Based on the information available, there is no definitive recommendation for Lipitor patients to avoid alcohol completely [1]. However, it is generally advised that individuals taking medication should consume alcohol in moderation [1][2]. Moderate alcohol consumption is defined as up to one drink per day for women and up to two drinks per day for men [2].

It is important to note that consuming large amounts of alcohol while taking Lipitor can increase the risk of certain side effects, such as liver damage [1]. Therefore, it is recommended that individuals taking Lipitor consult with their healthcare provider to determine a safe level of alcohol consumption based on their specific circumstances [1].

In summary, while there is no need for Lipitor patients to avoid alcohol completely, it is important to consume alcohol in moderation and consult with a healthcare provider to determine a safe level of alcohol consumption [1][2].
