Barmymoo:
I don't think taking 1g of paracetamol is going to do me too much harm, guys. I don't drink alcohol, and I probably take no more than 10g of paracetamol in a year, if that. I don't have any ibuprofen.
hedgie:
Wait, you're from the UK and *don't* drink like a school of fish. I am now officially bewildered.
Barmymoo:
I have never seen a school (or indeed a shoal) of fish drinking, so I can't tell you whether we do so similarly or not ;)
I drink very rarely, and could quite happily never drink again. In fact I might easily not do. I didn't realise British people particularly had a reputation for drinking a lot?

Tylenol is the brand name for paracetamol. Ibuprofen is a stronger painkiller but as I recall it can also cause heart problems. Basically there's no painkiller that doesn't have a risk of killing you one way or another, so pick your poison.
Personally I only took ibuprofen after my jaw surgery and for everything else I stick to aspirins.
Aimless:
They have different mechanisms of action and comparable efficacy for their respective indications. Paracetamol 1gx3-4 for a few days is just fine for most people whose aliases begin with "Barmy" :o
