Step 3After
Hydrate
Drink a quart of water, juice, or a sports drink. You've just dehydrated yourself so if you were not planning ahead by drinking water before and during you need to catch up now. A Pedialyte freezer pop is the only commercial product that makes sense to substitute for downing fluids. Most hangover helpers are just providing electrolytes along with the water you drink to provide the same recovery help as a simple glass of juice.
Fortify
Take a multivitamin instead of aspirin or acetaminophen. You have probably urinated plenty so the vitamins in your system have been flushed.
Eat
Many people swear by eating something before going to bed after a night of heavy drinking. A slice of bread is often suggested.

its just a brand name, ibuprofen is literally the name of the chemical you are ingesting
i have doctors for parents ;)
I took a look at the back of a product containing acetaminophen and ibuprofen. The acetaminophen product had warnings all over it about liver damage, including not to take more than 4000mg per day (4 doses, 8 extra strength tablets,) and not to take if you drink 3 or more drinks per day.
I didn't see any mention of liver damage or alcohol on the ibuprofen bottle.
