  Pardon me not posting in ROAD Health Center - it's quite dead.
  
  Generally how long after we take medicine can we consume alcohol?
  
  And how much medicine does one have to consume with alcohol before one says "Goodbye, world!"?

  4 500mg paracetamol tablets are enough to goodbye world without the slightest hint of alcohol.

  had something to drink?
  
  if it isn't too much like maybe a beer, it doesn't really matter unless you're taking something like a depressant...
  
  usually a day is more than enough... help flush it out by drinking lots of water
