For most people Ibuprofen or Naproxen (Aleve) are ideal for occasional/first aid use for aches and pains. I appreciate that you noted they aren’t good for people with established kidney or GI disease. You should also note that even a small overdose of Tylenol can cause irreparable liver damage. A significant number of people die from this every year. It should not be used at all by people who drink alcohol and never for a hangover. New to the site, enjoying your content, thank you!
