How long after painkiller can you consume alcohol?

It should be 24 hours, if you insist, take 2 or 3 beers only as this will become equal to 4 or 6 beers because of the residue of painkiller will give beer a kick and you will be intoxicated fast, have beer with care

You'll be fine!!

You only really have to worry about aspirin and drinking if you have a drinking problem. When you are a chronic alcohol user, the alcohol increases the rate at which the enzyme pathways work in your liver. This can cause a build up of an intermediate in one of those pathways, and that intermediate will bind irreversibly to liver cells and kills them.

But in the average liver, like a social drinker, you shouldn't have any problems and the aspirin will already be metabolized WAYYY before you start drinking.

I take 375 mg of Naproxen twice daily for arthritis. I still have a drink with no abnormal, real effect.

I don't think you will have any problem with Aleve. What you want to stay away from is taking opiates and drinking at the same time.

I usually wash down my advil with a beer during a night of drinking. You'll be fine.

I wouldn't worry about it..it's painkiller we're talking about and it's over-the-counter, right? only risk would be heart-burn/upset stomach....so take a TUMS and/or Nexium/Prilosec to protect from stomach acidity.

the active medicine in your over-the-counter pain killer would no longer be active. no side effects. this is why the directions state that it can be retaken after four hours.

I would suggest drinking at the same time you take the pills.

6 pack, bad idea!

maybe it will make you sick,maybe it wont.
