Advil is a brand name for ibuprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is commonly used to treat pain, fever, and inflammation. While Advil can be effective in reducing hangover symptoms such as headache and muscle aches, it is important to use it cautiously and in moderation.

According to GoodRx [2], taking Advil or other NSAIDs can irritate the stomach lining and increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, especially when combined with alcohol. Additionally, taking too much Advil can lead to liver damage, which can worsen hangover symptoms and potentially cause long-term health problems.

However, some sources suggest that taking Advil in moderation can be helpful in alleviating hangover symptoms. OMRE [3] notes that Advil can reduce inflammation and swelling in the body, which can contribute to hangover symptoms such as headache and joint pain. It is important to follow the recommended dosage and not to exceed the maximum daily dose of Advil, which is 1200 mg for adults.

In conclusion, while Advil can be effective in reducing hangover symptoms, it is important to use it cautiously and in moderation. It is also important to note that there is no cure for a hangover, and the best way to prevent hangover symptoms is to drink alcohol in moderation or not at all.
