I feel like this is a good time for me to join this discussion. I have opinions on the topic that I feel the need to share and so I will do so, now.
Firstly, it is my opinion that ibuprofen alone is worse on your stomach than any combination of aspirin and alcohol. Once, I took 800mg ibuprofen on an empty stomach and I got really bad heart burn for several days. I didn't even have a drink, either. Plus, it hurt. Since ibuprofen is obviously worse for your stomach than the combination of alcohol and aspirin, I feel that the FDA is wasting their time trying to regulate the use of aspirin and alcohol. The time would be better spent on regulation of ibuprofen.
Then, I watched The Last King of Scotland and after that scene where that one fat black guy had a really bad stomach ache and he thought he had been poisoned, I thought twice about how bad it really hurt when I took that ibuprofen on an empty stomach. I guess it didn't hurt bad enough to summon a doctor, so that Uganda d00d clearly was in more pain. He probably felt that the end was near. I felt sorry for him. But then, he was the president of Uganda and I'll never do that, so why should I feel sorry for him? Uganda d00d wasn't bleeding from the stomach, though. He just had a really big fart stored in his belly.
Since Uganda d00d drank beer and took aspirin and got really bad gas, I think the FDA should put warnings on those products warning, not the person consuming those two items, but the people around them, that the potential for greenhouse gas release is greatly increased around such people. If you've ever had a gas pain, you know what Uganda d00d went through and you'll agree that you should NEVER take aspirin and drink beer.
Beer is alcohol.
Therefore, I have to agree with Evonus. Aspirin and alcohol really aren't good together.
