Answer by dog
yes

Answer by Eric
You'll be fine.

Answer by Poppy
Over the counter 200mg? You are ok, it may get you drunk faster so start slower than normal. If you can't do that, then wait a couple of more hours.

Answer by Jack H
You should be fine, although like Poppy said you may find yourself experiencing tipsiness a little sooner than expected. Maybe have a bite to eat before you go out, or grab a greasy burger after a couple of pints, just to keep yourself going. Also, having a drink of milk to line the stomach beforehand might help with the possible hangover tomorrow.

I know you've said you're not planning on drinking hard, but being a student I know I've gone back on that promise quite a few times!

Answer by Robomtraaa
You will be fine, but it's not good to combine ibuprofen with alcohol on a regular basis.
