How many Tylenol does it take in order to damage your liver? ?

your ok it does take alot and consitantly too which your not gonna do this on a daily basis you should be ok

Regarding taking two tylenol & some alcohol: YOU SHOULD BE SAFE.

The below is from epocrates, probably the most-used medical program by providers. Also a journal review.
1.it describes that the dosage for mild pain or fever is 325-1000 mg PO (by mouth) q4-6h (every 4-6 hours) I don’t think u did more than these.
2.hepatic dysfunction – don’t use or at least decrease the dose, or just use another pain med, but I assume u don’t already have liver failure.
3.according to one doctor with 20 yrs of experience I bounce ideas off, u don’t want to do more than 4,000 mg per day & over 10,000 mg per day would be hepatotoxic, toxic to the liver. I doubt u took either of these doses.
4.the liver is effected by tylenol, & alcohol. When I was studying for one set of boards, one joke to remember AST, a liver enzyme used to evaluate liver function, is to remember A= alcohol, S= statins ant T= tylenol. So, yes, u do not want to take them for a long period of time as it can effect ur liver. I don’t remember where I heard it from, but the idea that u need to do something about the pain if u r using ibuprofen over twice per week may be a good rule for tylenol also
5.It appears that instead of alcohol & tylenol combined together being worse for ur liver, a single dose of alcohol actually protects the liver from the damages of toxic dose, as listed below.
6.The other journal below describes that an increased therapeutic use of Tylenol while fasting or routinely drinking alcohol can cause acute liver failure. There is risks to any drug, they r not harmless, even something as innocent as tylenol

A second pattern of liver toxicity, frequently seen in the United States, occurs due to a therapeutic misadventure with the drug [1,2••]. These patients often r regular alcohol users or have been fasting, & they r taking acetaminophen to relieve pain. They typically present to the hospital with severe liver failure 3 to 4 days after
consumption of the acetaminophen

drinking any amount of alcohol damages the liver, tylenol (and most pain relievers)damages the liver in any amount as well. the damage from two beers and two tylenol is nominal at best. Sweat, plenty of water, and some milk thistle should clean you right up. You arent going to be thrown into liver failure any time soon from what you have described. The liver is one of the amazing organs that has the power to repair itself if the damage is not severe, you will be fine!

im not really sure on this one, but i am pretty sure that the stuff in tylenol is pretty strong, go on Web MD and see if they havi anything on there that relates to your question, or see a doctor

Anything over the recommended dosage on the label honestly. Or taking the recommended dosage for over 2 weeks.

Might want to stick to ibuprofen or aspirin in the future.
