    A lot of things increase your risk of GI bleeding, it is a very serious danger but it’s something you have to look at combinations of risk factors. I take high dose zoloft which increases my risk of GI bleeding and I drink socially, I never take more than a fairly low dose of ibuprofen or aspirin after drinking and I never take more than 200 mg of ibuprofen every 2 hours when not drinking, so far so good.

      iirc the GI bleed risk is a standard NSAID thing. They cause your gastric and intestinal linings to grow slower, and since you need to constantly replenish that mucus. if it’s not thick enough you get an ulcer.

      standard not a doctor this isn’t medical advice blahblah
