When I try to google it I only get the information that its just bad for your health, but how exactly does it work that you can’t mix ibuprofen with alcohol? If someone could explain it in a way that makes sense that would be great, thank you

It’s generally safe to take ibuprofen with alcohol. However, acetaminophen with alcohol is not recommended because both alcohol and acetaminophen are metabolized by the liver. Taking both together can increase the risk of liver damage or even lead to acute liver failure.

You can actually damage your liver to the point of death by consuming a large amount of alcohol and acetaminophen even just once.
