I had a tooth surgically removed a few years back, took 90 min, and I got strong paracetamol and even a small pack of morphine.
I never used the morphine, I keep it sealed at home if I need it.

I guess I'm Americaning wrong. As far as painkillers go, 've only taken one ibuprofen in the last year. I even had a severe gut pain event where they prescribed me some oxy but I never took anything.

I honestly don't understand the Dutch techno reference.
It's about the perceived drug use (namely ecstasy) within the electronic music scene. Amsterdam, because of its ports and proximity to western Europe, became a hub for typically higher quality drugs.

Also Australians (where the most economical package of paracetamol/acetaminophen is 200 pills for A$4).
200 mg? I know people over here that will pop a pair of 800 mg tablets.
Isn't 800mg Rx-only? If they're doing it under their doctor's supervision, then that's their business.
Here 600 is under prescription for sure, I think 400 too.

Honestly I think the Americans have it right, here.
You end up taking fewer painkillers of you start taking them early and get ahead of the pain. If you wait until the pain is already severe, you end up taking more.
Idk why this happens, it's info I got from a nurse, and intuitively it feels right.
But also, we have small bottles, too. Kirkland is the Costco brand, the place where you buy shit in bulk.
It's like showing some natural peanut butter from the grocery store vs. a tub of jif from Sam's club.
I think you replied to the wrong comment

Ibuprofen is for my migraines only. Nothing else touches those damn things.

The only place I’ve ever seen that huge Kirkland bottle is in a workplace. I don’t even have pain killers in my house right now…also American.

This is so so so so true. Americans especially ww take more ibuprofen and excedrin in a month than surely you should in a lifetime.
