He was diagnosed with accidental exposure to alcohol and accidental ingestion, according to the report.

He was given Tylenol and told to rest

I have maybe had 3-5 sips of alcohol in my entire life and I can tell right away when alcohol is in something.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Tylenol and alcohol will destroy your liver completely.

[Drew68]

Why did they give him tylenol?!? You aren’t supposed to mix tylenol with alcohol because it increases liver damage.

Been taking Tylenol for hangovers for over 40 years.

My liver is fine.

[Allegra]

Oh, for crying out loud.

We were stationed in Italy when I was a “tween.” We were at the Officers Club at the NATO base in Naples for my 13th birthday dinner. I figured 13 was pretty grown up and I asked my parents for a small taste of the bottle of chablis they were sharing with dinner, expecting them to say “no.”

My dad asked the waiter to bring another wineglass and he poured the glass about a quarter full and my parents toasted “our first teenager” with me. I got a little giggly sipping it and thought it was a nice taste.

After that, if I asked, they’d let me have a small bit of wine on special occasions. I’m talking maybe twice a year.

It was no big deal.

I feel for this generation.

I was wondering about that myself. Thought it might be Babylon Bee.

[Buttons12]

I always had the option of a small amount of wine, when spaghetti or lasagna was on the menu. A little beer, at the beach or barbecue.
One thing they never gave me: Tylenol. A few relatives, back in the day, consistently experienced pain (lasting for days!) in the liver/gallbladder region, after taking Tylenol, so we all fear it.

I bet this kid is having a blast telling his story in school....age 12...yeh...that’s a prime “age of stupidity” for kids.

[unlearner]

Now they can sue Outback Steakhouse AND the hospital.

[Trailerpark Badass]

Lol, the 70's were a great time to be a kid. But we learned "how not to get caught," which taught us how to learn our limits.

Now, parents have parties for their kids, to "keep them safe." So the kids just get drunk as hell, "but at least they're not driving!"

[Trailerpark Badass]

Yeah, that kind of lesson is the one that sticks.

[verum ago]

I kinda think these people aren’t too bright...and are gonna get caught ...cuz people like this will brag...

Of course, if they’ve got a good lawyer, to:
1) tell them to shut up
2) drum up some press
3) choose some idiot jurors
and
4) get the 12 year old to tell a sob story on the stand…

…they can probably get a nice, confidential “go away!” settlement. And let’s be honest, 3 and 4 are optional.

[Allegra]

We didn’t do the Tylenol thing in my family either. If we needed a pain reliever or fever reducer, Bayer aspirin was the go-to.

[Silentgypsy]

If anybody’d know, it’d be you.

[Tax-chick]

If you put enough sauce on it, you can eat anything.

[Sacajaweau]

Bet this kid is now the most popular kid at school.....not realizing his friends are laughing their butts off behind his back... at his “first drunk”...yeh right...kids aren’t stupid.
