I'm sure it doesen't.

The real question is, how long until your liver fails!

You aren't supposed to take tylenol when drinking. The alcohol itself is bad enough for your liver.. When you throw tylenol into the mix, especially an OD.. you are asking for it.

Educate yourself!

As for that "beer before liquor" stuff that keeps getting spouted time and time again. I will gladly continue to defy that as I always have 6-7 pints then switch to the shorts for the rest of the evening and I'm fine.

i would be having a bad night if i tried that

Be me.

Years of alcoholism have rendered me relatively immune to hangovers. I was pretty tore-up last night at 2am, and here I am, about to cook some steak and eggs and mow the lawn. :thumbsup:

You don't do much drinking, eh? I couldn't speak on beer before or after liquor, since I don't drink beer... but I noticed that many cheap liquors cause a less enjoyable high and make me more prone to hangover on my own; I've never heard or read that it had anything to do with it.

Listen to this guy. You're going to kill your liver.

I don't take tylenol at all, let alone while drinking, because it's so hard on the liver. That and it doesn't work for headaches unless you overdose...

Aspirin works far better, and is safer for you, provided you take it after the alcohol is out. Not during or before.

But don't make a regular thing of that, either.

make yourself wake up in the middle of the night and take 2 advils, then go back to sleep. this will guarantee no hangover in the morning.
