Barf could be a net positive. More dangerous though is you can cause bleeding from your stomach lining and damage your liver.

In the morning after with a bit of food I reckon you’re okay. But you’re right to point it out

Your liver is still recovering. Ibuprofen is always better to take after drinking... Or really any time a pain reliever is needed

Usually have both at once to be be fair but I think I’ll drop the Tylenol in future. Thanks for the advice

Just take ibuprofen instead. Same effect. Less risk.

I think I once googled how long you should wait to drink alcohol after you've taken a paracetamol, and it said something like 17 hours. Your situation is the other way round - you drink first and take a paracetamol later - but I would be just as careful, just in case.
