no it doesn't.
As for your friend speculating that night is the best time to take vitamins because your digestion is slowed, I feel that morning is best because your body is in a fasted state and ready to mop up nutrients. be that as it may, i recommend taking your vitamins in two split does - 1 in the morning and one at night. the reason being the water soluble vitamins are excreted rather quickly(esp if you work up a sweat during the day, and also, you give yourself the opportunity to absorb more of the multi because its half the dose as it would have been if you took it all it one sitting. by splitting the doses you exponentially increase the ability to absorb all those micro-minerals and trace elements. if you have a one a day break it in half, and if you have 2 a day, well that speaks for itself. i recommend taking the second dose at dinner, rather than at bedtime as (for me anyway) ingesting a multi too late causes insomnia in some people.
