I hadn't heard that. What about ibuprofen... isn't that what Advil is?

However, I was a Hep C patient, and studied a lot about such things.
Ibuprofin doesn't seem to have the acute toxicity of Tylenol with alcohol. However, it does burden the liver.
If your liver is healthy, that shouldn't be a problem at doctor-recommended doses.
When I was doing chemotherapy, back in 2000-2001, most Hep C patients took ibuprofin to alleviate the side effects of the interferon and ribavirin, because it seemed to be the least bad of the bad choices available.

Not sure, but ibuprofen is also processed by the kidneys, so maybe not. I rely on plain old aspirin when I need it.
Oh, and really spicy food seems to help me the "day after", but whatever food makes you feel better is best.
It just scares me when folks want to take Tylenol for a hangover. "Read and follow directions" really means something. (Not a dig on you personally by the way).
