It is generally recommended to avoid consuming alcohol while taking Advil (ibuprofen), which is a type of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) [3]. Mixing alcohol and NSAIDs can increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, stomach ulcers, and liver damage [2]. Alcohol can also increase the side effects of Advil, such as dizziness, drowsiness, and stomach upset [1]. It is important to note that the effects of mixing alcohol and Advil can vary depending on the amount of alcohol consumed and the dosage of Advil taken [3]. Therefore, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare provider before combining alcohol and Advil. Additionally, it is essential to follow the recommended dosage and instructions when taking Advil [2].
