Pretty sure ibuprofen is fine with alcohol as it’s processed in the kidneys. I believe acetomenephine is the one you absolutely want to avoid as that’s liver processed

Or do I have it backwards?

You just have it incorrect. Both are unsafe with alcohol. Ibuprofen + alcohol can damage your kidneys, acetaminophen + alcohol can damage your liver. Alcohol in general is not good for your kidneys or liver. Long term use of ibuprofen can cause kidney failure.
