For many people, drinking in moderation and using over-the-counter pain medication is just a normal part of life. When done responsibly, there isn’t necessarily an issue with either one of these behaviors. But the problem comes in when alcohol and ibuprofen are used in larger quantities and used together. At that point, they can start doing damage to the body. Some of that damage could become irreversible in time, so it’s important to get control over drug and alcohol usage as quickly as possible. Promises Behavioral Health can help you with that, and give you treatment options for a clean and sober future.
How Risky is Mixing Alcohol and Ibuprofen?
There are definite dangers to mixing alcohol and ibuprofen. That’s mostly because the liver processes both of those substances. It can handle reasonable doses of either one, and the occasional higher dose of one or the other without any lasting damage in most cases. But when the two are mixed the risk rises. Suddenly, the liver isn’t able to process all of the toxins properly. That can result in liver damage, but it can also result in toxins in the bloodstream that aren’t filtered out quickly enough. Those can go to other areas of the body and other organs, which can cause lasting damage to those organs, as well.
