More nanny state crap. Have these experts ever heard of "tolerance"? Some folks need more to get the desired effect. Like Homer said, take more pills. It never ends…

Tylenol is commonly used as a means of suicide. It's effects on the liver (and Kidneys) is well documented, and consequently a handy choice for an "OTC" method of self harm. In this one U.S. county alone (Lake, IL), hundreds of people a year use acetaminophen to their lives. No wonder there are tens of thousands of liver failures per anum. Lowering the maximum dose of this chemical will not prevent many of these reported Liver Failure Events. What it will do is decrease the liability of the companies that produce and market this drug. Adding a black box warning after the fact does not serve those who head it. It protects the drug companies against those who don't. Go ahead and find another OTC to use in your failed attempt at avoiding life. Wake up from a Tylenol OD now, and you and your lawyer are up the creek.

I'm glad the so-called "experts" decided how much I need. I can't wait until they start sending officers door to door to enforce these absolutely ridiculous rules. Welcome to the nanny state as rosie said.
