Aha!AnAdvilCocktail!: I know people who do that when they are preparing to pour a few down so they don't get a headache later. They say it works for them. I guess that means they have iron stomachs, or stomachs without pain nerves in them. Anyways, at your age I'm sure you'll be OK. Just don't make a habit of it, especially if you take that medication regularly. It can thrash your stomach after a while.

No: Advil is metabolized by the kidney and alcohol is metabolized by the liver. Tylenol (acetaminophen) should be avoided while drinking or after drinking alcohol to avoid possible liver damage.
