Lipitor Backlash

I have high cholesterol. For years I've fought being put on medication for it, but this year my doctor insisted.

"Ok, fine, set me up some statins," I begrudgingly told him. When I'd been taking them for a couple months I went in for a checkup. They wanted to see how it was working, and to make sure it wasn't killing my liver (I think the bourbon is to blame there, doc).

Pre-drugs, my total number was 260. After two months of Lipitor? 140.

One-forty!

Talk about better living through pharmaceuticals... Bring on the deep-fried sticks of butter - oh, and could you wrap that in bacon? And maybe melt some cheese on it?
