Because drug companies aren't responsible for the actions of their customers. If you overdose on something like acetaphetamine, that's your fault, not Tylenol's. The information is out there regarding proper dosing and you've chosen to exceed that. That's really not a problem with the drug, you can overdose on practically anything, it's just chemistry. Society laughs at people (rightfully, I might add) who get busted drunk driving and try to blame Heineken for their actions. Also, taking 25% over than the recommend dosage several times may damage your liver but it certainly won't kill you. The LD50 for the drug in mice is 338 mg/kg.

yes but as I quoted, paracetamol is something you can overdose really easily, it's also a medicine everyone around me is using as a trivial thing. I might be surrounded by idiots but I think I'm the only one in my entourage who read the instructions (I've told my friends numerous amount of time "What? You're not suppose to take more than 4g per day!").

Seriously? If they can't even be bothered to read the instructions on medicine (or anything they put in their body) then they have problems and need more help. Or need to learn to read.
