I’m not sure where you were that the SMALLEST bottle was 100 or more but you’re either mistaken or at a Costco (or they were just out).
The small size packet for paracetamol is because you can kill yourself with it. A big enough dose will fuck your liver up, so that even if you survive you’ll need a transplant. It’s also extremely painful, apparently. So it’s best not to be able to buy a fatal dose on a whim.
Please don’t think of doing it, life is beautiful and full of possibilities, even if some days that’s hard to believe.
