Q: I've been sick the past few days, and took some tylenol at 7am and 3pm yesterday. Last night, I had a bit of a wild time, and drank a lot. I don't drink often, really only this past weekend and the two before it. Do I have anything to worry about as far as the dangers of mixing tylenol and alcohol? I'm currently in a foreign country, so its not exactly easy to just go to a doctor and ask this one.
A: The danger of mixing alcohol and acetaminophen (Tylenol) is that they are just so hard on your liver. It is recommended that you never mix the two. You'll be okay this time, but next time you will know better.
