I try and avoid painkillers whenever possible for two reasons:

They're crazy addictive
They build tolerance, and when it comes time where taking them is unavoidable, I want them to work as well as possible.

Let's say the maximum recommended dose is the "dangerous dose." That's 4 grams. 20x4=80 grams of paracetamol/acetaminophen. That's like 160 goddamn pills

Well that is a permanent solution to some kinds of pain

That's why paracetamol should be sold in the pharmacy by a pharmacist who asks you for what you are using that stuff and warns you about side effects.

i really don't want to live in a society where every move of a literate person is questioned because there's illiterate people roaming around.

There's clear dosage information in that leaflet inside every single paracetamol box. If you're emptying a box a day (let alone 4 boxes a day) and don't bother checking if that's safe then this is entirely on you

~~In a family of five, how often would I have to go to the pharmacy under that rule? Keep in mind that menstrual pain is a thing. Or would that just be the cheat code to get a dangerous dose?

How would the different online pharmacies know how often I told that story? Or does your proposal just mean "increased shipping cost"?

Don't think that's practical at all.~~

edit: Post I'm replying to wasn't talking about amounts at all. They are correct.

I don't know what that would change? You go to the pharmacy, say you have a family of five and menstrual pain? Nobody said anything about limiting the amount of drugs to buy.

Oh sorry maybe I misunderstood. Yes, paracetmol and other painkillers should only be sold in pharmacies. This is the case in Germany but you can buy essentially as much as you want if you tell them it's for multiple people.
