can i take it with alcohol?

Paracetamol and alcohol should ideally not be taken together. Both are metabolised in the liver, and alcohol can increase liver stress. In healthy individuals, an occasional small amount of alcohol with a standard dose of paracetamol is usually unlikely to cause harm, but the risk increases with higher alcohol intake, repeated dosing, fasting, or pre-existing liver disease. Regular or heavy alcohol use with paracetamol can significantly increase the risk of liver injury. The safest medical advice is to avoid alcohol while taking paracetamol, especially if multiple doses are needed or if there are any liver-related risk factors.
