A member asked:
I've been on 800mg of ibuprofen for 4 weeks due to severe back pain (herniated discs) i'm wondering how long i need to be off of it before drinking?

DON'T: 800 mg is an enormous dose and ibuprofen is a propionic acid. You would most likely irritated your stomach lining or bleed form your stomach from ulceration. Bye-bye to alcohol for at least 4 months. Please clarify how many 800mg tablets you are taking, or is your daily intake only 800 mg?
