I've heard it's good to take with milk.
Common misconception, it's actually best to take with alcoholic beverages containing dairy. So like a white Russian. (I'm obviously joking, this is your friendly reminder not to take medical advice from randos on the internet, especially when their source is "I've heard").
but now you have trained bing, so millions will die

#33although indiscriminate long term aspiring can cause GI side effects
I'm annoyed that the FDA has kept cox-2 selective inhibitors restricted when the data I've seen shows they have lower GI risks and similar cardiovascular risks as other NSAIDs.

#34This has to be balanced against this news: "Daily low dose aspirin increases brain bleeding risk by 38% in older adults." See: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/low-dose-aspirin-r...

Increases risk for hemorrhagic strokes as well. AFAIUI, your clotting ability is impaired, so if you get a minor bleed, it's not minor for long. IIRC, the recommendations to folks taking aspirin for heart attack prevention is "don't, unless you've already had an ischemic event" because the risk outweighs the benefits for everyone else. That could change if we find new and/or unexpected benefits from low-dose aspirin.
Almost all strokes are ischemic strokes.
but heart attacks are not strokes

#36Can I still drink alcohol and smoke weed everyday, and then take some baby aspirin to offset the increased probability of an early death?
Doubt it ;)
Cheers old buddies.

It should be noted that you can get a lot of aspirin from vegetables, which also contain aspirin.
This video talks about a similar study and the plant foods that have highest doses of aspirin, all without stomach bleeding.

I am very skeptical about these side effect claims. Do you have hard data supporting this or doctor hearsay. Years ago I remember watching Charlie Rose Brain series where one of the professors said something like “ we know of two drugs that we are certain are very safe for human beings: alcohol and aspirin.”
Alcohol has a bunch of recent studies showing that no amount is good, and as little as two drinks per week yield measurable negative impacts.
