A member asked:

We had 3 22oz beers last night, the last one around 630 and at 8 this morning 1 took 2 500mg acetaminophen. is this a bad thing?

Honestly, yes.: It's a "bad thing" but not necessarily for the reason you think. One 1 gram dose of acetaminophen isn't going to damage your liver, regardless of how much you had to drink the night before. But consuming the equivalent of a 6 pack of beer, especially for a female, is "binge drinking." That's "a bad thing" to do to your body.
