A member asked:
I had a glass of whiskey 5 hours ago and now took a 500mg of paracetamol for a headache is this a bad thing? should i be concerned?

Should be Ok: The reason for taking paracetamol (fever?, headache?, pain?) remains of concern and unless having advanced liver disease you should be OK unless getting sick for some other reason. Taking 500 mg paracetamol 5 h after drinking a glass of whiskey is not an emergency, but an underlying condition for which paracetamol was taken may become one.
