A member asked:
If i take tylenol (acetaminophen) and cough medicine that are 4 hour doses, would i be safe to drink after the 4 hours are up? or will it still be in my system.

Compounding effects: Taking cough/cold medicines along with alcohol is a risky proposition. You may have more dizziness, nausea, headache, and you certainly should not drive a car or other motor vehicle because of worsening response time. Not safe.
