is tylenol really bad for hangovers?

[Alex]

i heard it can fsck you up... but my head is throbbing hardcore right now... i wasnt even thaaat ripped but i just have this unusually strong splitting headache and i just wanna pop some Ts to make it go away...

I haven't heard that. But take more than the normal dosage, actually take twice the amount and drink a lot of water.

Drugs plus booze = bad, so it's recommended to avoid taking while you still have it in your system. If you're cleared out and nursing a solid hangover I'd take some tylenol, though recently I've tried to avoid taking any pills after some drinkies the night before because of lingering liqour in the system (although maybe it's only bad if it's being actively digested at the time).

Basically it's best not to drink so much when you can

Both alcohol and tylenol are hard on the liver. I'd stick with ibuprofen

But it's so much fun! I just started to drink heavy, don't party poop now.

Good for hangover, can be bad for liver. Take aspirin.

Acetaminophen is absorbed through the liver, same as alcohol. The combination of the two is worse than either one alone.

You can take other stuff, like aspiring, that's absorbed through the stomach safely.

That'll fsck your liver as well among other things. I made the mistake of downing a bunch of IB after getting kinda drunk one night and was whizzing blood for about 12 hours. Not recommended.


franguinho: A bunch of gatorade, a banana, a mulitvitamin, and a nap would be a better idea IMHO.

Obviously, I meant aspirin rather than aspiring.

Can't stay logged in, so I can't edit my typo.

yeah drink gatorade or water. i havent ever had a problem with taking pills and alcohol... i took like 12 ibuprofen WHILE i was drunk one nite and it didnt even get rid of the pain :-/ but no side effects either. (and no, i wasnt trying to kill myself. just drunk and in pain )

cool thanks

i would take aspirin but im alergic believe it or not... i'd say the alcohol is definitely in my system...lol... but im hurtin and theres no food around the house either... sometimes being a poor student just loses its appeal....

argh i guess its nap time

ps - i seriously didnt drink that much... had a couple shots in a row to jump-start me but after that it was just beers... i actually remember the entire night pretty much... except what happened to the chinese food takeout i got after the bar, im pretty sure i brought it home...lol

barbituates (sp) + alcohol = death. I dont know if tylenol is a barbituate though.....

You're dehydrated and you've whizzed out a lot of vitamins and electrolytes. The stuff I mentioned will fix that.....caffeine may help the headache some too. I'll actually consume the stuff I mentioned before going to bed as it takes a lot of the edge off a hangover the next day.

If you want to fix yourself up quickly, the "tough love cure" is to go exercise yourself into the ground for about an hour. It'll suck, but you'll feel a lot better afterwards.

I didn't say it was fun, but it will fix you up pretty quickly.
