Ya, that combo in any kind of excess is deadly ... it's a good thing you're more responsible than I was and pointed that out. I don't think a single dose of that combo is going to kill you though, which is what I meant. I've taken alcohol and Tylenol IIIs together a few times in my life when I had back pain so bad I could barely breathe, but never a lot at any one time. And no, I don't have liver problems. My wife is an RN and has seen a lot of acetaminophen accidents, both with and without alcohol on board. It takes a lot more than a couple Tylenol IIIs and a shot of scotch to do damage.
