Yes, there are risks of stomach bleeding when taking Advil (ibuprofen) and consuming alcohol. Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that can increase the risk of stomach bleeding, especially when taken in high doses or for extended periods [1]. Alcohol can also irritate and erode the lining of your stomach, and when combined with ibuprofen, it can increase the risk of stomach ulcers and bleeding [2].

According to DrugPatentWatch.com, "Ibuprofen may increase the risk of serious stomach problems, including ulcers and bleeding. Taking ibuprofen alone, or with other medications that increase the risk of stomach problems, such as aspirin or steroids, may increase this risk" [3]. Moreover, "Drinking alcohol while taking ibuprofen can further increase the risk of stomach problems" [3].

It is important to note that the risk of stomach bleeding with ibuprofen and alcohol may depend on several factors, including the dose and duration of ibuprofen use, the amount and frequency of alcohol consumption, and individual risk factors such as age, history of stomach ulcers or bleeding, and use of other medications that may increase the risk of stomach problems [1][2].

Therefore, it is essential to consult a healthcare provider before taking ibuprofen and consuming alcohol, especially if you have a history of stomach problems or are taking other medications that may increase the risk of stomach bleeding [2].

In summary, taking Advil (ibuprofen) and consuming alcohol can increase the risk of stomach bleeding, and it is crucial to consult a healthcare provider before taking ibuprofen and consuming alcohol, especially if you have a history of stomach problems or are taking other medications that may increase the risk of stomach bleeding.
