Found a couple of articles on webMD, and it seems there's still some dispute about the toxicity of acetomenophen especially is regular doses. In high doses (like ten+ caps) there's no argument that it does deliver toxins to the liver and do damage.
No similar threat noted from ibuprofen.
Huh. Learn sumpthin new every day.
My understanding is that each alone can burden the liver, but when combined is when they're dangerous. Apparently it has to do with the fact that the liver is already under stress from dealing with the alcohol and it doesn't take much acetomenphen to do the damage. It happened to a girl in the town we used to live in; it was all over the news there. She didn't die but sustained liver damage.

That's Tylenol alone. Mixed with alcohol, the picture is entirely different.
Excerpt from link: Ibuprofen (Motrin) has been reported to cause severe liver injury in people with hepatitis C.
After three maximum discomfort hangovers, I learned my tipping point and have stayed on this side of it ever since.
