RE:Are the other NSAIDS as dangerous? Ibuprofen is less harmful to the liver. Too much aspirin will cause your stomach to bleed. .

I really wonder how much is too much? They sell the stuff in big bottles. Are the other NSAIDS as dangerous? It's the combination of a lot of Tylenol with alcohol that causes liver problems. I use ALEVE (Naproxen Sodium) for my back only when dancing. The use of any NSAID is always dangerous if you use them like M&Ms.

I really wonder how much is too much? They sell the stuff in big bottles. Are the other NSAIDS as dangerous? In a fit of college-age drunken stupidness, I took a bunch of advil on top of a lot of liquor. When I lay in bed numb from head to toe I was pretty sober. Don't do that.

ManyMoose Back in 1977 I went to court with the Chief Scientist of the State Police Lab as he was called to testify on one of my cases. While we waited to testify the conversation somehow drifted to Tylenol. He told me he noticed changes in his son's liver function when taking Tylenol (he was ill) and later discovered the damage increased several fold. He warned me against using it. I never touched it since. That was at least 25 years before formal warnings came out on Tylenol and the liver. I had great respect for the doctor and preached against it from that day. Today I use coated aspirin or Naproxin Sodium which is the generic name for Aleve. I find the Naproxin very effective.
