No lol. I thought it was funny as someone who hates taking even acetaminophen/ibuprofen

Acetaminophen is one that terrifies me. I'm a recovered alcoholic since 2017, but I still think of how much that decade prior must have damaged my liver. My doctor said that basically any NSAID can put stress on the liver, but especially acetaminophen, so I read labels before I buy any meds because it's in so many things.

Acetaminophen is not an NSAID

But yeah, it can be really rough on the liver

Yeah, sorry. I was walking and distracted when I wrote that. That was my mistake.

Worth noting that acetaminophen/paracetamol is not an NSAID, but you are correct that it's broken down in the liver. Ibuprofen, however, is broken down in the stomach and absorbed in the stomach lining so it should be easier on the liver. However, best to consult a doctor.

Definitely true but I only take acetaminophen once or twice in a month and I don't drink at all. So this is going to be up to your individual liver health. Generally it shouldn't cause a problem, most people just need to look out if they're combining medications (try not to anyways!) to make sure they're not double dosing acetaminophen.

Definitely varies individually! Yet, I cringe every time my alcoholic brother catches a cold and starts drinking Nyquil straight from the bottle, on top of the usual brandy and whiskey
