Do not take Tylenol or its generic forms. Your liver's ability to process the alcohol in your blood is blocked by Tylenol and it will make it worse. Those coming into the ER with toxic levels of alcohol who have taken Tylenol often die because of it. Tagamet Yes, that long term antacid medicine. It has a side effect of shrinking some sort of lining of the brain which is swollen when hung over and causing that big headache. Take Aleve and Tagamet, drink lots of water and some coffee to "speed the process". My personal belief is that dehydration is the biggest issue.
