I had some tylenol (acetaminophen) at 4:30pm. i want to drink alcohol at 9:30pm. is this safe? most people recommend 2-6 hours, just want to be sure.

Should be fine: Alcohol and Acetaminophen compete in the liver for the process that breaks down the toxic features of each. As long as you are not overloading these sites, you are safe. Chronic alcohol use can damage these areas and make the remaining sites have to work overtime. If you do as you say, you are helping your liver work for you.
