Question 6

No: This is a problem as you have posed it. The Ibuprofen is a type of drug that may upset the stomach or GI tract. Then adding a second drug to upset the stomach as alcohol will upset the stomach or can add to a gastritis is not wise. Would wait until another time for having your coolers.

If there are no issues, you can take 800mg every 8 hrs, or 600mg every 6 hrs. Max pain benefit at 600mg
