I myself have moved downmarket for both beer and bourbon now. Trying to drink less, it's bad for you and expensive

My friend who is in the medical profession swears by a multivitamin and two ibuprofen before bed. Works pretty well in my experience although I usually just do lots of water and a multivitamin

Will be buying multis today to test this. Ibuprofen + alcohol regularly is terrible for your liver right? Or is that just aspirin?

I'm not a doctor but I'm 99% sure it's acetaminophen that's bad for you when drinking

Acetaminophen/paracetamol is processed by the liver the same way alcohol is, so the combination kind of overwhelms it. Long term regular ibuprofen use is just bad for your kidneys

Good to know! I always erred on the side of safety and skip the ibuprofen when trying to avoid a hangover. At least a half a gallon of water and the multivitamin seem to do the trick most times
