I have strong back pain and tension headaches. My job is very stressful so sometimes I like to relax with a drink or two. But, last time I went to a doctor (pain was even more severe), doctor prescribed me with acetaminophen. Problem is, I do not know if I can take alcohol while I am undergoing therapy with acetaminophen. Do you know something about that?

Unfortunately, I have to disappoint you. You cannot combine acetaminophen and alcohol. Reason for that is in the fact that pain killers react via CNS and creates a depression of CNS (the same thing alcohol does), so there is a clear answer why these two should not be taken at the same time. If you have any extra doubts, please consult your doctor.
