A member asked:
Is ibuprophin or tylenol (acetaminophen) better to take for headaches when drinking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither: Stop drinking and you will not get the headache, ''the problem is the alcohol is giving you the headache. Stop the cause rather than taking something to stop the complication symptom.
