"as a general rule, one should avoid taking Tylenol or an ibuprofen such as Advil for six hours, depending on whether the alcohol was taken on an empty stomach and the amount of alcohol consumed.
At the FDA panel hearings on acetaminophen, an expert testifying for the makers of Advil said that individuals who drink more than two alcoholic beverages a day should not take more than two grams of acetaminophen a day. The makers of Tylenol pointed out that ibuprofen can cause gastrointestinal bleeding in heavy drinkers. "
