Yes, because the paracetemol can react with the alcohol and it might be fatal or some critical damage may happen.

Paracetamol And Alcohol

Q Is it dangerous to take paracetamol and drink alcohol?

A

No. Indeed paracetamol and alcohol are metabolised by the same oxidative enzymes and alcohol may even confer some protection to the liver in the event of a paracetamol overdose (19).

In certain circumstances, alcoholics may be at higher risk of liver injury in the event of a paracetamol overdose. However, paracetamol is used as an analgesic for patients in hospital liver units, including alcoholic patients (20).

Alcohol will damage the liver and so will paracetemol.

The combination together increases the risk expedentially. 1+1=4 in this case.

Avoid paracetamol when you are drinking. Try something like advil "ibuprofen" that is filtered through the kidneys and less likely to damage your liver and more likely to decrease inflamation and actually give you some relief.

Hi,

Moderate to high amounts of paracetamol have caused liver damage in people with alcoholism. To prevent problems, people taking paracetamol should avoid alcohol.

You can, but a paracetamol will not be as effective under the influence of alcohol...

I think you may be confused with antibiotics, you shouldn't drink while taking them...
