So did he have other advice when you told him how little ibuprofen and alcohol you have been taking?

I would suggest you improve your diet because the poor diet that college students tend to have is not good for you either.  Try to eat vegetables.  Even canned veggies are fine to keep you more balanced.  They are cheap and easy to heat in the microwave.  Avoid sugary and fatty junk and all alcohol and see how your numbers look next time.  There are some people who have a defective liver that can't handle any alcohol at all, unfortunately.
