Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Consuming more than two alcoholic drinks per day increases the risk of liver damage when taking acetaminophen. Alcohol and acetaminophen both increase the production of a toxic substance in the liver, causing liver damage when taken together. Aspirin and Tylenol are both pain relievers, but taking both together can increase the risk of side effects such as stomach bleeding and ulcers.
