Welcome Buddah to the discussion.

While painkillers will provide immediate relief, they can cause problems for the kidneys and liver with long-term use. See our headache section for more ideas. Aspirin and ibuprofen (Advil, Ibuprin, Motrin IB, Nuprin) are hard on your stomach (may promote gastrointestinal bleeding), while acetaminophen (Excedrin, Panadol, Tylenol) is hard on your kidneys and liver, too, which will be working overtime processing the alcohol. Excessive use of acetaminophen can lead to kidney failure and irreversible liver damage. Ibuprofen can lead to kidney damage when taken in large doses over prolonged periods.

That was basically how I rolled.  Bloody mary was a great breakfast with my two white horses.

Prevention Techniques

Almonds American Indians claim that eating 6 raw almonds before imbibing helps prevent intoxication.

Bifidus powder Put a teaspoon of bifidus powder in a glass of water and drink before going to bed. Bifidus is the "friendly" bacteria that detoxifies acetaldehyde, a digestive byproduct of alcohol that is a major cause of hangovers.

Evening primrose oil helps prevent hangovers. Take two teaspoons.

Eating a meal high in saturated fat causes the effects of alcohol to peak earlier and last longer than diets high in polyunsaturated fat. Research at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

Peanut Butter Eating peanut butter before drinking is an African remedy.

Prickly pear cactus extract (see remedies below).

Sports drinks, high in electrolytes, will help replenish what the kidneys have excreted during drinking. Take before bedtime.

Time imbibing Women who drink right before menstruating when their estrogen level is low are more prone to get drunk and are more nauseated afterward than during the rest of their cycle.

Tomato juice To help stop the urge for alcohol drink a tangy drink, such as tomato with the juice of one lemon added.

Water One of the best preventive measures is to drink 2-3 large glasses of water before you go to bed. Drinking alcohol is very dehydrating and hydrating your system helps counteract the effects of the alcohol.

So the 3200 milligrams of Ibuprofen that I washed down with beer while I was in the Army was probably a bad idea?

You had kidneys?

I thought they were just large raisins.

Brian..that is why you take a very small amount of Ibuprofen. Acetatminophin mixed with alcohol burns your stomach.  a small amount of Ibuprofen before sleeping..along with rehydration will help you. It is not to relieve pain. It is to stop swelling of Tissue. You will wake up without that groggy congested head feeling you may get from drinking. The water is to counteract the dehydration alcohol causes. Booze thins your blood but it also damages soft tissues.

Hi Mr Buddha great solution

Advil liqui-gels are the shit.  I'm taking the occasional Pecocet or Vicodin now that Advil doesn't even touch the pain.  Stupid right hip and broken back.
