Acetaminophen is cytotoxic and causes liver damage. No amount of it is safe. Yet we have children's tylenol.

Why? Because the body heals whatever miniscule damage occurs with small amounts. The trade off is one which we decide to leave to people to make with their judgment.



Then why do they fear monger with alcohol and not Tylenol? That's my question.
