Tylenol is an even better choice: "Paracetamol poisoning is the foremost cause of acute liver failure in the Western world, and accounts for most drug overdoses in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand."

Acetaminophen/paracetamol falls in the weird zone of drugs that would never have gotten approved by the FDA for OTC use if they were discovered today.
