Watch out popping ibuprofen in large quantities, it is hepatoxic.

Isn't that Tylenol(the acetaminophen in it)? Ibruprofen screws up your kidneys I think.

Ibuprofen can cause liver damage in higher doses. It appears to happen almost randomly though, which suggests something unusual to the patient prompts the reaction.

You're right. Tylenol trashes the liver, Advil hurts the kidneys and intestinal system.
