Lipitor and Scotch: Does timing the gap between drink and dosage make a difference?

by lafew1, Aug 15, 2008 01:12AM
I drink socially and take liptor (liptor) and was wondering in that I only drink in the evenings if it's better to take the lipitor in the morning in order for the liver to metabolize the alcohol at night. Or is the liver simply distributed evenly over a 24 hour period making the time you take it with alcohol irrelevant.

Does drinking 1.5 - 2.0 oz of scotch or bourbon within an hour or two of taking 20 mg of Lipitor create an elevated risk of Liver or Kidney dysfunction?  Is this depending upon alcohol absorption factors of a persons body?
