Somewhere, I have read that the limit of 32 paracetamol/aspirin/etc

pharmacist.
Pharmacies can have larger packs too.
The statistics show that suicides have dropped since the limits on the
number sold even though one small pack is enough.
which would seem to suggest the cause is something else
I have to admit that I have only once bought more than 32 paracetamol in
a pharmacy/chemist. It wasn't very long ago, and IIRC, I had taken two
boxes of 16 to the counter. However, I was told that they had boxes of
32, and as all their self-medication stuff was 'buy one, get one half
price', would I like two boxes of 32? I did query whether I was supposed
to be allowed to have 62 tablets, but was told 'no problem'.
