No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Alcohol is a known muscle relaxant. That fact is even a plot point early in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but I digress.
It's also something of a mind relaxant. If your pain is made worse by tensing up worrying about the pain, then alcohol is going to help both ways, because you'll be less able to worry and you won't be able to tense quite so much anyway.
I'd be surprised if neither ibuprofen nor diclofenac have any effect at all - but don't take those with alcohol in your system. Liver damage is not something you want to add to your list of ailments.
Consult a physician, etc.
While we're talking about OTC NSAIDs, might should mention aspirin and acetaminophen/tylenol have even higher risk of liver damage when used with alcohol
Yes, having paracetamol for the hangover after you've been binge drinking puts a lot of strain on your liver so best avoided.
I knew someone in uni who'd have a xanax if they felt they would have a hangover the next day. Had to tell them it was a borderline suicidal "trick" because they were potentiating all the booze in their system, SMH.
Holy shit, what a “trick”
When I was younger I found out that if I ended the night with a few lines I'd wake up the next morning with a nose bleed, but no hangover.
Not a pro tip at all but your comment took me back to my younger and much much stupider days haha
