I would say hold off on the alcohol. Effexor is a pretty powerful drug, metabolized by the liver the same way that alcohol is. Drinking in addition to taking Effexor creates a logjam, there, and your system can't clear the "toxins" out of your system quickly enough.
I myself drank pretty strenuously the entire time I was on Effexor. It was a bad idea. Though I don't know of (knock wood) any liver damage that I might have done, it probably did. I wouldn't want you to do the same to yourself.
