  Can confirm (anecdotally) Ibuprofen gives me either gas or the runs. Paracetamol works just fine - but it does have a liver effect, so it's a big no-no for hangovers.

After dry January this year I noticed how much even non-hangover inducing alcohol usage decreases my QoL. I lost weight without trying, I was more awake, I felt fogged up in the brain less often. I reduced my alcohol consumption a lot now. And I wasn't even getting wasted often. I think it's worth trying if you don't want to destroy your body.

  I avoid both aspirin and (especially!) ibuprofen because of this. Admittedly my fault because 10+ years ago there was a period where I had a persistant nasty toothache and took too much ibuprofen over several months when I should have been trying harder to get the tooth treated (I did go to the dentist, but several expensive attempts at regular fillings didn't solve the problem and in the end I had to get a root filling). Ended up with stomach pain which lasted for months/years afterwards and even now its sometimes not 100%. Now days I feel like even taking just a few aspirins or ibuprofens can trigger it again. I reckon there should be stronger warnings about this.
