    It’s pretty easy to overdose on Acetaminophen, Wikipedia suggests >100k a year in the us (it’s in so many OTC medication, stuff like cough syrups and the like, really easy to hit the 4g/day max dose)

    I’ll still use it, just use it responsibly.

      To add to this I’ve heard professionals in my field say if acetaminophen was discovered today it would likely be a controlled substance for this reason alone. The overdose potential is too high. That always seemed like an extreme measure but i can understand it.
