Absolutely, I wouldn't recommend regular ibuprofen (ab)use to anyone ,
certainly not for hangover prevention anyway! (rheumatoid arthritis would
be a different matter!) Anyone tempted to try this out should be aware that
regular use of this drug can (note can, not will) cause serious gastric
haemorrhage, not to mention liver and kidney failure.

I also agree with John M that the effect is more likely to be
psychososmatic than anything else, although there may be some enzyme
induction as we both said.

OK- getting back to drugs and Hawkwind- what the hell is Valium 10 about?!
I mean I know what the drug is but what do the lyrics mean?
