I had one shot and a mixed drink can i take 2 tylenol after for a headache?

Yes: The restriction for Tylenol is with chronic alcohol use as it may damage the liver. A few drinks are fine.

Tylenol and alcohol: Alcohol can prevent the normal metabolizing of acetaminophen by the liver and cause liver damage. However I don't think that amount of alcohol would be dangerous for the taking of 500 mgs of Tylenol one time for your headache. However I'm impressed that you seem to be aware of the harmful relationship of drinking alcohol and taking Tylenol.
