Thanks, John... which brings to mind a similar relationship (slightly
off-topic - sorry Arthur), probably the tip of the iceberg as far as such
associations go: never, NEVER, take any type of acetominophen-based drug
(eg Tylenol) within a day of even moderate drinking, let alone after a
'booze-up'. Acetominophen and alcohol together can kill your liver. Period.
Funny they never say anything about that, but it's in all the medical
journals.

You have to wonder what effects all of these other wonderful chemicals we
deal with every day have, in combination.
