Can you mix Advil with alcohol?

Answer 1

Yes you can, but be careful because both Advil and booze irritate your stomach...put 'em together, and it can irritate it twice as much. But it's still a lot safer than mixing booze with Tylenol, which can seriously damage your liver.

Answer 2

No, you do not want to take pain killers when you have been drinking. Drugs like ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin), naproxen (Aleve), or aspirin can cause stomach ulcers and internal bleeding if taken with alcohol. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) damages the liver and so does alcohol, so you don't take that either. The best idea is not to binge drink at all.

Answer 3

Taking Ibuprofen imposes risk of gastrointestinal (GI)irritation and bleeding. Alcohol could increase the risk GI irritation and bleeding as well. For optimum precaution when taking Ibuprofen, avoid alcoholic drinks - that would be the best choice. Consuming 3 Alcoholic Beverages/day may increase the risk of GI bleeding. Ibuprofen prevents the body from getting rid of water and salt so indeed it is already a "burden" not only to the liver but kidneys as well. http://www.umm.edu/altmed/drugs/ibuprofe...

Answer 4

It is not advisable to take any medications, be they OTC (over the counter) or prescription, after or before consuming alcohol. Alcohol metabolizes the medication producing dangerous chemicals that harm the hepatic system.

Answer 5

I would say wait a few hours (estimate, maybe 2). Combining alcohol and Advil can cause intestinal bleeding.

Answer 6

Usually it is not harmful. Ask your doctor to evaluate the combination based on any medical complications unique to you.

Answer 7

you can but it's just adding to the torture to your stomach. have a grilled cheese if your trying to prevent a hangover. it works like hell.

Answer 8

yes
