Consequences of Ibuprofen overdose: According to research institutes, Ibuprofen overdose damages your internal organs like liver. While in some cases it has been reported that it has result in a permanent liver damage, in other cases where the victim was taking the dose for a long and continued period it has resulted in organ failure one by one.
Some more side effects are unsteadiness, blurred vision, ringing in the ears, gastrointestinal, nausea plus vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, probable loss of blood in intestinal areas or stomach or both, headache, agitation, drowsiness, incoherence and confusion etc. Sometimes more serious symptoms are also noticed in some victims though very rare such as seizure, gastrointestinal bleeding, metabolic acidosis, respiratory depression, hyperkalaemia, tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, coma, hepatic dysfunction, renal failure, cyanosis, and cardiac arrest etc. Until and unless the victim is allergic to ibuprofen, there is a slim chance that the victim would die from Ibuprofen Overdose.

The Kidney Dialysis center here has some patients that come in due to damage to their kidneys from overdosing like, Advil, Ibuprofen, etc. What might not harm one, might kill another, do you want to take that chance? how would you like to go through dialysis all the time, it's not much fun, don't mess around.

OK, first why would someone take 19 Advil? That being said, I think your friend is safe. Probably not a real smart idea to take them like that but I don't think he is in immediate danger of overdose.

Nothing. That's far too few to kill anyone. He may get sick and it'll thin out his blood, but he'll be fine in a couple of days.
It's not a smart idea, though.

19 tylenol could kill him. Not advil. He can still get very sick. What the hell is his problem? Tell him to stop being an idiot.

All of them can kill you if you take enough.
