Mark this magical day on the calendar and get me a beer STAT!

Two things that go together very well are beer and Tylenol, and I think we all know what order they come in.

But now you can OFFICIALLY cut out the middle man (Tylenol) while trying to get rid of that hangover OR regular everyday headache. The University of Greenwich found that three or four beers can ease your pain better than some over the counter painkillers.

Dr. Trevor Thompson, the head of the study, concluded that

 “alcohol is an effective analgesic (pain reliever) that delivers clinically-relevant reductions in ratings of pain intensity. It is more powerful than paracetamol.”

In Doctor talk, that means beer will help out your headache more than two Tylenol’s would.

So the next time you feel a headache coming on, don’t reach for the bottle (of Tylenol) reach for the OTHER bottle…
