I’m not looking for medical advice, but more understanding. I have chronic back pain. I can alleviate it completely with only 2 things - alcohol and a heating pad. Ibuprofen lessens it but it’s still present. Muscle relaxers do nothing (which makes sense because it’s not muscle related, it’s spinal disk degeneration).
A tall glass of whiskey makes my back relax and I can move normally. Once it wears off tho, it’s right back to tense and painful.
While we’re talking about OTC NSAIDs, might should mention aspirin and acetaminophen/tylenol have even higher risk of liver damage when used with alcohol
Yes, having paracetamol for the hangover after you’ve been binge drinking puts a lot of strain on your liver so best avoided.
I knew someone in uni who’d have a xanax if they felt they would have a hangover the next day. Had to tell them it was a borderline suicidal “trick” because they were potentiating all the booze in their system, SMH.
Holy shit, what a “trick”
When I was younger I found out that if I ended the night with a few lines I’d wake up the next morning with a nose bleed, but no hangover.
Not a pro tip at all but your comment took me back to my younger and much much stupider days haha
