Why can you get metabolic acidosis from ibuprofen overdose but not from other acids with similar pKa values? Citric acid has two more carboxylic acids, one of which is even stronger than ibuprofens but you can still drink OJ till your hearts content. Is it just the citric acid doesn't even get into the blood stream and its all metabolized prior?
