You can OD on paracetamol but you need a fair old amount.
The reason you can only buy 2 boxes of 16x 500mg tablets is to stop suicidal people going to the pharmacy and being able to buy enough to kill themselves. So if 32 x 500mg (about 10 times what you took) is unlikely to kill you id say youll be fine.
Recommended safe doses are usually about half of what is actually safe. If you think about it theyer for anyone from puberty upwards so if 1000mg is safe for a tiny 6 stone 15 year old bird id say that me being almost 3 times that size could pretty safely have 3 times that dosage although im yet to try more than double.
Apparently paracetamol is not good for your liver but neither is home brew.
