Paracetamol & Alcohol

Last night when I got home I (stupidly) took four paracetamol before going to bed.
I had been drinking throughout the night, probably about two bottles of wine in total.

So, can taking four paracetamol in one go mixed with already having alcohol be dangerous? Should I be worried..?

It's not good practice to do it but 4 pills is fine, it's no way near the level you need to overdose. I regularly drink on opioids like Tramadol, just makes me feel sleepy/bit more drunk and dizzy!

brb consuming >20 units of alcohol in one evening and then worrying about 800mg of paracetamol.

Oh you kids.

But lettuce be cereal for a moment, OP. The relationship between alcohol and paracetamol effects are not well understood in the acute sense. However, paracetamol toxicity in alcoholic liver disease is increased but I can't imagine that applies to you unless you've been repeating this stupid act frequently and consistently over the last few years. If I were you, I would be more concerned about depressing my central nervous system with alcohol so much that I vomit and aspirate in my sleep.

Cheerio.

Actually, it's 2,000mg of paracetamol not 800mg. Try not to be so arrogant in future if you don't know what you're talking about. Mocking someone and being wrong yourself, is not a good look.

Wow, you need to lighten the hell up. Obviously 4 pills is over the recommended dose but it's not going to kill you, don't assume you know everything about medicine after reading a box of pills.

OP, if you're able to write this thread then you're fine. As others have said, don't do it again, but you'll be fine. I know someone who took 6 paracetamol after a night of drinking, it was extremely stupid, but they didn't have to go to hospital.

My knowledge on analgesia far exceeds that than which is written on a box of paracetamol, but thanks for your concern.

Feel free to point out which part in the OP he stated the size of the pills he took. Seeing as supermarkets generally stock 200mg tablets (indeed, as well as 500mg), your guess is no better than mine. Irregardless, my point still stands.

u mad? yeah u mad. Try harder next time.

No, they don't. Paracetamol is almost ALWAYS stocked on shelf in 500mg tablets, if not they will be 1,000mg.

Ibuprofen however, is almost ALWAYS stocked on shelf in 200mg tablets, if not they will be 400mg.

I have never, ever seen any 200mg Paracetamol tablet that is sold OTC. Feel free to find me one from any supermarket or even a chemist that sell 200mg Paracetamol tablets...

Bro, I've seen both. Nevertheless, my point still stands. It changes nothing about the information I have to the OP.
