Americans just tell you it's a slight headache. In reality their back is so screwed up it's going to require surgery but they can't afford that and complaining about actual pain is strictly forbidden in American men.

So we take ~~200~~ ~~400~~ ~~800~~ 1600 Motrin, with some bourbon, and ignore it as best as we can.

Don't know about Ibuprofen, but Paracetamol overdose is horrible, agonizing death.

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.

200 mg? I know people over here that will pop a pair of 800 mg tablets.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Isn't 800mg Rx-only? If they're doing it under their doctor's supervision, then that's their business.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Or... And doctors hate this one trick...

8 200mg pills

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Technically it's prescription only. In reality if you ask a random group of men there's always someone with a bottle. Around military bases it's even worse because the military just throws the 800mg pills at everything.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I don't know what military life is like, but that hasn't been my experience as a civie. Most men I know wouldn't go to the doctor for something mild enough that it could be treated with ibuprofen.

Here 600 is under prescription for sure, I think 400 too.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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.

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

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.

It's always amusing how you can read Dutch with some difficulty by combining German and English.

I honestly don't understand the Dutch techno reference.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Their substance laws are also way more lax than the rest of Europe.
