Due to the prolific nature of these forums, poster aggression is advised.
There is an excellent pre-emptive remedy for hangovers.I think you know what I'm getting at.
Aspirin and alcohol really aren't good together.
Aside from an increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding (because both alcohol and aspirin are hard on the old stomach lining), there is no evidence, or even supposition, that the two taken together are any more dangerous than either taken alone. You are very good at spreading myths. I hope you're on our side.
"If you combine alcohol with aspirin, you face an increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.
And if you use alcohol and acetaminophen
(Tylenol, others), you increase your risk of liver damage. In fact, the Food and Drug Administration requires all over-the-counter pain relievers and fever reducers to carry a warning label advising those who consume three or more drinks a day to consult with their doctors before using the drug." Source: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/alcohol/SC00024That's a source, I'm sure I could easily find more. There's also the fact that it's been in every book concerning pharmaceuticals I've ever looked at. If it's a myth, it's a well published one.
You said it was a myth, which is a lie, so I posted a source proving to you that it is not. Nice job, not knowing what you're talking about, and then trying to weasle out of it though, I appreciate the effort.I know acetometaphin isn't aspirin. Aspirin is Assalyic Acid, or something like that. Acetometaphin is Tylenol, it was just part of the paragraph I copied, and I forgot to cut it out.
Gosh, should I even adress this asshattery?Oh, well. Why not?The idea that taking a couple of aspirin in combination with alcohol is somehow dangerous to a healthy adult is a myth. Unless you already have gastrointestinal bleeding, or some other pre-existing condition, using aspirin to mitigate the effects of drinking will not cause any damage. Your statement that "Alcohol and aspirin really aren't good together" is misleading and false and implies that aspirin and alcohol are toxic when combined. They are not. The caveats on OTC medications cover extreme cases. Do you know how much aspirin and alcohol you would need to consume to screw up your stomach to the point of bleeding? A lot. A lot, a lot, a lot. A whole bunch, I guess is the point I'm trying to make. Huge amounts. Vast quantities. You would need to achieve levels of consumption that would stagger your imagination.Acetominophen is another matter. The worst that aspirin does is act as a corrosive on your stomach and intestines. Acetominophen is actually dangerous, because it affects liver function. Alcohol puts a strain on the liver, so in combination with acetominophen can actually cause liver damage. However, even so, a healthy liver will not be ruined if you pop a Tylenol and have a glass of wine.Everything is harmful in extremes. Even water. But the idea that it's dangerous for a healthy adult to take a couple of asprin before drinking a few beers is a myth.
Nope, no sources. I made it all up.
Why am I not surprised.
