I’ve got no idea what the alleged evidence for this is, but what I do know is that the people making these announcements are completely untrustworthy.

    A combination of ibuprofen and acetaminophen (paracetamol) is a crazy effective painkiller. It’s been found to be even more effective than some opioids. Watch your dosage, know what you’re taking, and it’s perfectly safe.

      Huge risk of liver toxicity. Mix two drugs then drink like an average American and the liver has no chance.

      People take 2x doses of ibuprofen to recover from hangover.

        Then don’t drink. Why would you mix poison with medicine and think that’s an ok thing to do? No shit that’s bad for you.

        If you are taking any kind of medicine, don’t drink. If people are too stupid to not realize that, then they are deserving of the Darwin Award.

        Also, don’t eat grapefruit when taking medicine. That one is more forgivable because it’s not obvious it’s a problem.
