Question by Dita: Immediate effects of mixing alcohol and Advil?
I had terrible menstrual cramps, so I took advil about 2 hours ago. Can I drink alcohol?

Best answer:

Answer by Jeremy D
From the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism

-“Some of these drugs cause stomach bleeding and inhibit blood from clotting; alcohol can exacerbate these effects (30). Older persons who mix alcoholic beverages with large doses of aspirin to self-medicate for pain are therefore at particularly high risk for episodes of gastric bleeding (19). In addition, aspirin may increase the availability of alcohol (31), heightening the effects of a given dose of alcohol.”

TLDR- You may die.
