Lipitor, also known as atorvastatin, is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the body [1]. According to Medical News Today, drinking alcohol while taking statins, such as Lipitor, can increase the risk of liver damage and muscle breakdown [2]. However, the article does not mention any specific effects on wine tolerance.
A study published in the Journal of Clinical Lipidology found that moderate alcohol consumption did not significantly affect the efficacy of atorvastatin in lowering cholesterol levels in the body [3]. The study did not mention any effects on wine tolerance.
There is no direct evidence to suggest that Lipitor can affect wine tolerance. However, it is important to note that drinking alcohol while taking Lipitor can increase the risk of liver damage and muscle breakdown. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider before consuming alcohol while taking Lipitor [2].
