A member asked:
Is it safe to take paracetamol before bed after drinking heavily? i know it's christmas, and i shouldn't, but is it safe to take to prevent hangovers?

Would not choose: Paracetamol (acetaminophen) and high amounts of alcohol can damage your liver. If you need to choose something (other than drinking water - dehydration is a main cause of hangover symptoms), i would choose something Ibuprofen based.
