Can I take advil now after I drank alcohol?

Question

last night between 8-9pm I had like half a beer maybe a shot of vodka, didn't get drunk or anything im only 15 btw. Im not gonna do it again cuz i have the worst headache its now 8:30, can i take to ibrophen (advil) to help my head i guess its been about 9 hours

Answer 1

Yes. I usually take 2 advil or tylenol or ibuprophen after a long night of drinking. You can actually take it before bed that night. But today you will be ABSOLUTELY fine with taking it. (It usually takes 1-1.5 hours for 1 bottle or glass or shot of alcahol to leave your body.

You are fine and we all have tried alcahol at one time or another so don't feel guilty.

Answer 2

Don't pop any pills. Since you are so young, it is more likely to damage your liver. Instead, drink LOTS of water. That's the best way to help! Also, I find a good breakfast knocks the edge of the achy feeling all over.

Answer 3

Hi,

The big cure to your head ache is time as rightly pointed out. Drinking tomato juice is also helpful. I am happy to see that you are not going to do it again. Be a good person and lead a happy life.

Answer 4

Drink A LOT of water and hydrate yourself. The reason that people get hung over is because alcohol dehydrates people, but we mistake drinking alcohol for a drink that hydrates us.  

Answer 5

I wouldn't do it. The only cure to a hangover is time.  

Answer 6

i had like 1 beer 3 glasses of champagne and 2 small bottles of wdk and i don't have a hangover (I'm 16)  you could try takeing one and seeing how things go and then after 4 hour take another etc if you still feel rough but the best cure is 3 pm and a fry up xx

Answer 7

if you take any medicine like that after drinking will easily make you throw up, and you don't want that. But now that i've read your whole question, i think that you can take advil, just as long as you got more than 6 hours of sleep, or at least six hours!! but i still wouldn't take too much of it!  

Answer 8

Eat something first.  Advil should always be taken with food (not necessarily a full stomach but something) as it could upset the stomach.  

Answer 9

Eat some breakfast and drink lots of water!! 80% of the time when you have a headache it's a lack of hydration! When you do drink *which you shouldn't because you're only 15* you should try to drink a glass of water before bed to hydrate yourself, it helps reduce the chance of a nasty hangover! You can take an advil or motrin now because it's been a while but try eating and drinking water first!! Time will help as well!
