Use Only as Directed

You can kill yourself with Aspirin, in fact I thought that Aspirin was the #1 choice for that (without research). In any case, take too much and you are dead - I think not because of stomach ulsters, but because of bleeding in the brain. Again, that's just from memory, but google for it and you'll find some negative side effects. I think there is also a problem in combination with other stuff, for example grape fruit juice.

(Edit: Googling for "aspirin suicide", find it in top 20 list of suicide methods http://wantdeath.blogspot.de/2011/07/method-5-of-suicide-asp... )

You can kill yourself with almost anything, including water.

Did you read the article? The whole point of it is that the dose of acetaminophen found in many pills in the US is dangerously close to the level at which liver damage occurs.

The same can't be said for other painkllers.
