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?

Well, IME, most folks from the UK I know tend to put down enough to get labelled an alcoholic in the US, and most days their routine consisted of going to work, then heading to the pub until one was pissed enough to head home (and possibly have more). Kinda like Shaun of the Dead sans zombies.

--- End quote ---
Whether a brand name is genericized or not can always be disputed but there's already an existing nonproprietary name (paracetamol), which is as genericized as you can get as Tylenol is only a brand in the US.
Wow: Wikipedia informs me that some people were poisoned and killed with cyanide-laced Tylenol in 1982. What the hell happened then?
cesium133:
Yeah, but nobody in the U.S. calls it paracetamol.
hedgie:
*cough* I generally do.
Papersatan:
Even *Tylenol* calls it acetaminophen in the US.
I had never heard the term paracetamol until I encountered a conversation on the drug with non-americans. Most people here would not know what that was if you asked for it.
