Probably that paracetamol becomes far more toxic when alcohol has depleted the liver's glutathione stores

She was popping them like Tic Tacs. When they dropped the new liver in, they found 3' of gangrenous small intestine, hence the overdose. She'd pop two, still in pain, no difference, pop another two, rinse and repeat, all afternoon.

Can't remember what she estimated, won't try to repeat it, but she went fucking nuts. I think that would kill about any of us.

Glad we have these conversations. We were all shocked to learn that Tylenol could crash your liver. Wasn't the common knowledge 25-years ago that it is today.
