So I've heard that if you take too much Advil, it can have a negative effect on your body. How much do you have to take for these effects to occur, and what are they exactly?

Advil, Alleve and all other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that reduce pain can lead to ulcers when taken long term.
Always consult with your doctor when taking medicine for prolonged periods of time.

Gastritus (SP?) I took like 20 advils a day for a few months and got it. Throwing up, pain in my tummy. The gross part is that it takes a long time to heal. I stopped taking it almost a year ago and sometimes it still hurts. Take Tylenol

Advil (ibuprofen) can affect your kidneys, Tylenol can affect your liver. Best thing to do is take as label directs.
