I think it's that as much as the suicide risk. It's VERY easy to take

too many paracetamol, esp if muggy in the head from a cold, or if you

are daft enough to drink Lemsip and take paracetamol and flu pills.

If you actually want to do yrself a mischief you can just go to a few

shops (most moderate sized towns have an independant chemist, a boots

and a supermarket all of which can sell paracetamol.
