I am a Medical Technician.
We dispense medications to patients under a doctors order.
I would STRONGLY recommend that the use of Tylenol be eliminated altogether in this situation.

Be careful of cough and cold remedies that can have Tylenol in them also.
Don’t touch another drop of alcohol as long as you live.
My Dad had cirrhosis from heavy drinking, and it wasn’t pretty.
I will pray for you very hard Fourth and three.
God Bless.

Acetaminophen (the active ingredient in Tylenol) must be avoided for sure; it's real nasty on the liver. Look for it in all sorts of medications.

It does carry some risk as I mentiomed. Your advice is at odds with The Mayo Clinic however. Aspirin, NSAIDs, naproxin, etc. are all worse than acetomenophen. Aspirin in particular can be a big problem because people percieve it to be so harmless, but that is not the case with liver damaged individuals. It would remove a risk to eliminate acetomenophen, that is true, however in doing so you’d eliminate every single over the counter pain medication from use.
