How long after consuming alcohol can I take headache pill?

So I drank about 2 small glasses of wine, and a bit later I got (and still have) a rather large pounding headache - one that's almost got me in tears.

Does anyone know how much time I should wait to take a pain pill so I won't be in danger?

Also, any advice on how to lessen the headache without having to take a pill would be appreciated. I've already tried a warm bath and it didn't work. It's late and I can't even get to sleep because the pain gets worse when I lie down.

1. usually id take one b4 i drink so i dont get a headache.

now u should wait until ur completely sober. (no more alcohol effect)

it can be dangerous to take while ur drinking

2. You need to drink a LOT of water. It's the only thing that can negate or help with side affects of alcohol.

3. A couple glasses of wine isn't enough to be concerned about. You would be fine to take the pill rightnow.
