Tylenol is a a wonderful painkiller, and quite safe to take AFIK even in large does. Unfortunately the combination of it and moderate doses of alcohol simultaneously leads to liver and kidney damage. I honestly only discussed tylenol in this blog as I wanted to provide an example that when you hear about the potential dangers of NSAIDs, the alternatives also have their own set of potential complications.

In life and in medicine there certainly appears to be no such thing as a free lunch. Every compound we ingest has pluses and minuses to it.

I am sorry to hear about your brother! :(

Thank you for reading.
