I'm surprised this hasn't become a fad

[johnjohn320]

Back when I had tendonitis, I had to take a ton of Ibuprofen daily. Apparently, as I discovered, this has a blood thinning effect, which makes you get drunk MUCH quicker. My tolerance was literally halved while taking those things (~2000 mg/day of ibuprofen).

I'm not at ALL recommending it, in fact it kinda sucked. But I guess I'm surprised kids dont do it to get drunker faster, or lower their tab. Heh.

edit-Apparently many of the members who replied here are illiterate. I didn't do this on purpose. I didn't continue to do it after I found out the effects. I know it's bad for you. I don't think people should do it. I was only expressing surprise that many people don't do it on purpose. The 18-35 demographic, after all, does have a history of sharing needles and doing other such crazy sh!t to their bodies in order to party and get high, right? It was just an observation. So relax. Sheesh.

That's funny. I never noticed that effect. Of course, I never take more than 600-800 mg at a time.

Ibuprofen really has no abuse potential. You should get your hands on some real meds and then have some drinks.

Though, ibuprofen + alcohol = hurt liver.

 

[apac]

You do realize that mixing painkillers + alcohol is like repeatedly stabbing your insides with sharp objects?

Ok, maybe not that bad, but you get the idea...bad to mix them

Naw, that's Tylenol.

Advil and drinking is hard as hell on your stomach, though. The Advil alone is hard on the stomach.

I believe Advil can damage the kidneys over time, too.

Yeah I know. That's why I said I don't recommend it. But lots of kids do lots of stupid sh!t to party. Surprised I hadn't heard of people doing this on purpose.

Personally you are risking damage to your stomach by doing this, not to mention possible long term damage to other organs as well. NEVER mix ibuprofen and alcohol, very bad. I'm surprised you didn't research it before doing it.

Direct from a medical journal:

Alcohol
Ibuprofen may cause drowsiness, dizziness, or blurred vision. Alcohol may intensify these effects and increase the risk of accidental injury. Use of alcohol during ibuprofen therapy increases the risk of stomach irritation and bleeding. People taking ibuprofen should avoid alcohol.

I just got 100 fresh new oxycodone pills at home. Come to my house, I'll make you forget all about your silly Advil.

if death is your thing, go for it

In a recent study it was stated that mixing alcohol and ibuprofen may also lead to kidney failure. I don't know about you, but I'm not going to risk losing my kidneys for a quicker buzz. No thanks.

Oh, they do but most of them know the risks with ibuprofen so they mix with strong prescription pain meds (percocet and vikodin come to mind).

 

[sandorski]

Just drink more alcohol quicker if that's what you want. Not recommended though.

Two college students who developed reversible acute deterioration in renal function following binge drinking of beer and the use of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are reported. Both patients presented with back and flank pain with muscle tenderness, but showed no evidence of overt rhabdomyolysis. The first case had marked renal failure, with a peak serum creatinine reaching 575 mumol/L (6.5 mg/dL), and acute tubular necrosis was documented by renal biopsy. The second case had only modest elevation in serum creatinine, and renal function rapidly improved on rehydration. The contribution of the potential muscle damage associated with alcohol ingestion to the changes in renal function in these two cases is not clear. However, the major mechanism for the acute renal failure was thought to be related to inhibition of renal prostaglandin synthesis in the face of compromised renal hemodynamics secondary to alcohol-induced volume depletion.

[johnjohn320]

Haha, I love how everybody's taking this so seriously. Look, I don't condone it, and I never did it intentionally. I just ended up learning a lesson about a year ago when I was on a heavy dose of Ib. I was only commenting that I found it interesting that there doesn't seem to be a flock of people who do this on purpose...sure it's unsafe, but we're talking about people who aren't concerned with their health, they want to get fscked up.

Um advil rapes your kidneys.

Ask my friend it caused his wife to have a kidney transplant. (Hello kidney failure).

 

[KLin]

Sounds like it hasn't become a fad because it will cause permanent damage much quicker than just drinking.

You must've written excellent essays in school if you feel that the above is clear and obvious to the average reader.

This post is about as stupid as taking Grandpa's beta blockers to get high.

So just donate blood. 3 beers and you are lit up like a christmas tree.

Wow, OK, I'll try to break it down for you:

Two college students who developed reversible acute deterioration in renal function following binge drinking of beer and the use of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are reported.

They hurt their kidneys, but it was reversable.

Both patients presented with back and flank pain with muscle tenderness, but showed no evidence of overt rhabdomyolysis.

They had back and side pain, but no evidence of a disease called Rhabdomyolysis.

The first case had marked renal failure, with a peak serum creatinine reaching 575 mumol/L (6.5 mg/dL), and acute tubular necrosis was documented by renal biopsy.

His kidneys were fscked

The second case had only modest elevation in serum creatinine, and renal function rapidly improved on rehydration.

His kidneys were not so fscked

The contribution of the potential muscle damage associated with alcohol ingestion to the changes in renal function in these two cases is not clear. However, the major mechanism for the acute renal failure was thought to be related to inhibition of renal prostaglandin synthesis in the face of compromised renal hemodynamics secondary to alcohol-induced volume depletion.

The combination of ibuprofen and alcohol shut their kidneys down.
