Alcohol damage of liver is indirect. The blood from intestine containig absorbed nutrients and whatever else got into it goes to liver first for the first line processing and neutralization. Alcohol loosens the intestine epithelium and lets the gut microbiome to get into the blood. This causes an inflamation, which if is chronic leads to the liver disease.
I wonder if that's not also bad for your liver. Ifnyiu take if for the hangover, I really recommend drinking a lot of water before going to bed instead, it makes wonders.
It isn't just about being "bad for your liver" - combining alcohol and acetaminophen can literally kill you.
If you've drank enough over the years to permanently damage your liver, there are ton of medications you can no longer take (and ibuprofen is one of them), but if your liver is still working properly, taking ibuprofen is safe - even with alcohol.
No, I try to not get hung-over enough to need analgesics. But I have persistent back problems, and taking Tylenol for it regularly would probably cause some compounding liver damage. Ibuprofen is, fwiw, much harder on the stomach - but not toxic to the liver. That's why it's the go-to-side-dish for alkies with a breakfast burrito.
and b vitamins (b12 seems to have the greatest effect on reducing hangovers, and i've heard alcoholics tend to be b6 deficient so can't go wrong w that too)

As a drinker, I stick to ibuprofen. I wonder if it's as good for social pain.
