Yes! It can be fatal. I was in a medically induced coma for over 2 weeks because I mixed vicodin, valiums and alcohol. I could not walk,talk, or even write or control my bowels for over 3 weeks because of the damage the acetaminophen (Tylenol) did to my liver. Acetaminophen and alcohol combined are poisonous to the liver, even over a relatively short time. Don't take the chance. Some people get away with it, but others (like the writer above) discover this truth the hard way. Many don't survive without liver transplants, which are difficult to qualify for if you are a drinker. Nuff said?
