No. Aleve does have an anti-platelet effect but it's shorter in duration than that provided by aspirin. Further, it will interfere with the anti-platelet effect of aspirin if taken in parallel with aspirin.

Is it harmful to take alleve after drinking alcohol?
Alcohol and Aleve (Aleve, Anaprox, EC-Naprosyn, Naprelan, Naprosyn, Midol Extended Relief) should not be taken together. Naproxin Sodium, like other NSAIDS, increases the chances of stomach bleeding. Taking it together with alcohol makes the bleeding even more likely.There are actually no NSAID medications that should be taken with alcohol. Acetaminophen (Tylenol, etc.) is less likely to cause stomach bleeding than aspirin, naproxin and ibuprofen (Advil), but is liable to cause liver damage when combined with ethanol.If you have a hangover, drink lots of water and eat a little bit. Alcohol is a diuretic, and a lot of the hangover problem is due to dehydration.

People who have anaphylactic reactions, obviously, should not take aspirin. There are some people for whom aspirin causes difficulty breathing and asthma attacks. These people should also not take aspirin. People with bleeding disorders, such as von Willebrand's disease may take aspirin under their doctor's counsel. People with other bleeding disorders, such as hemophilia, probably should not take aspirin. Children should never take aspirin, as aspirin use in children has been linked to Reye syndrome, which is deadly. People with peptic ulcer disease should use aspirin with caution and only under their physician's direction. Likewise, people with history of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding should use aspirin cautiously, as aspirin may worsen or cause GI bleeding. Pregnant women should not take aspirin, especially late in pregnancy, as it may cause closure of the ductus arteriosus and premature fetal death. I'm sure there are many others, but this is all I can think of right now. I'll add more as I think it over.
