Is It OK To Have One Beer After A Few Hours Later Of Tylenol ?

Earlier this afternoon i took one dose of extra strength tylenol for a headache , and then this evening forgetting about the tylenol I had one beer. How bad is this, I mean i rarely drink, but I am kinda worried. I am 23 about 6 feet tall and 200 pounds, and male, overall generally healthy.

Since you neither take alcohol chronically neither you take tylenol regularly.The problem lies in the fact that the enzyme metabolizing alcohol are also involved in metabolizing tylenol.taking both the things continuously leads to tylenol poisoning.
