FWIW: Any OTC medication whose active ingredient is ibuprofen is much safer to take than those that contain acetaminophen which may cause severe liver damage. The greater risk with ibuprofen is stomach bleeding. So go ahead, drink up, and if you have to take something OTC, you are probably better off taking Advil, Motrin or regular aspirin. You definately want to stay away from the likes of Tylenol, Excedrin, Sudafed, Nyquil, etc.
