My point was that over prescription is a problem. Just a couple days ago this study showed the power of apap/ibuprofen equal to opiate in extremity pain: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/26615... Yeah apap is dangerous in really high doses but it isn't super fatal w NAC intervention.

But more people die from opiates than apap nih: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16294364
