Hello,
>Isn't acetaminophen dangerous when combined with alcohol?
Yes, but it's not a problem if you don't drink! An occasional small drink is ok though. Why do you ask?
As I said in my post, when acetaminophen is taken at the recommended dose, by people who do not have any contra-indications (alcoholism etc) it has a safety record which is much better than most drugs. It is far less likely to cause side effects than any of the drugs used in psychiatry!

PS. I am finding it difficult remembering to call it acetaminophen, it is called paracetamol in the UK. No one has heard of acetaminophen here! We don't have the brand Tylenol, we've got Panadol and many others.
