How long after last consuming alcohol do you have to wait before taking tylenol (acetaminophen)? the alcohol consumed was 3 standard drinks, 24 hours ago.

You are clear to use: The alcohol is broken down in the liver using the same toxin removal system as the acetaminophen. If used at the same time their is some chance of a toxic effect on the delicate liver cells. Since the half life of alcohol is a couple of hours, the material is long gone and you can use the medication without any problem.
