How much alcohol is considered too much while taking Zocor?

How much alcohol is considered too much while taking Zocor?I'm 25 and drink fair amounts of alcohol on the weekends, host poker nights, parties, go out, etc.. Just recently I was told by my doctor I have high cholesterol for my age, so he wants me to diet and take Zocor for a while to bring it down. He obviously recommends avoiding alcohol, but how much of my lifestyle do I really need to change, if any, to avoid liver problems?

Answer by I'mInCollegeNow
you probably shouldn't drink any alcohol at all

Answer by Athena W
any drinking on any medication can cause liver problems... just depends on your liver. Without meds Excessive drinking causes liver failure.

You actually shouldn't be taking any alcohol at all. This is not only because of possible liver problems, but also because it changes the metabolism of drugs you take, like zocor.
So...as hard as it is, try to cut down on the drinking totally if you could.
