Default pain reliever + beer

Beer is a strain on both your stomach (hops) and your liver (alcohol).

Among commmon painkillers, Aspirin and Ibuprofen tend to be easier on
the liver, but tough on your stomach. Paracetamol, on the other hand, is
gentler on your stomach and heavier on your liver.

So it's a question of finding out what suits you best, paracetamol,
ibuprofen or good old aspirin, depending on your liver or your stomach
being more tolerant.

But do keep in mind that mixing painkillers (ie one paracetamol and one
ibuprofen together) is definitively *not* a good idea, and that
consuming alcoholic drinks and painkillers at the same time for more
than a few days is not clever either.

Bottom line : go see a doctor.
