100mg of vicodin a) isn’t a lot and b) doesn’t make people go crazy

Here's one pill.

500mg acetaminophen, 5mg hydrocodone. I'm not understanding exactly what they are saying he took. 1/5 of one of these? Not hardly. Color me confused.

When someone takes Vicodin, it is noted by the amount of hydrocodone (typically 5mg, 7.5mg, or 10mg), not the acetaminophen content.

If he took “100mg of Vicodin”, it is meant that he took 100mg of hydrocodone (twenty of the weaker 5mg pills you posted a pic of, or ten of the stronger variety). It would knock a horse out, but not necessarily someone with a tolerance stemming from years of abusing the drug.
