Aspirin is good for you!

Not that much. They’re opioids. It’s easy to overdose fatally on these compared to something like aspirin. An average aspirin tablet contains what, a few hundred milligrams of aspirin? So an adult of average weight would probably need to (somehow) take over a hundred pills to receive a fatal dose.

You are liar!

Source codes:

        case DI_PKILL1:
            if (dis.duration <= 70 && dis.duration % 7 == 0 && p.pkill < 15) {
                p.pkill++;
            }
            break;
    if (it->has_flag("PKILL_1")) {
        g->add_msg_if_player(p,_("You take some %s."), it->tname().c_str());
        p->add_disease("pkill1", 120);

Therefore, aspirin won’t work when supressed 10 points of pain regardless of amount.
Even if you really taken 6K pills of aspirin you just obtained pain-reducing for 120610^3=720000 turns and it will reduce your pain maximum to 15 points, but being alone - only 10.

Ok did some research on aspirin.

The average adult would need to take something like 41 aspirin tablets before they would start to experience any real overdose effects at all (nausea and vomiting mostly). To have any real chance of death (around 2% chance) you would need to take something like 82 tablets. Average estimates put the LD50 (50% chance of death) of aspirin right around the 326 tablet mark. Note that this is with 300mg aspirin per tablet. There are plenty of “low aspirin” tablet brands out there, so those numbers could easily be 3-4 times as high if you were downing those.

Thanks for the info doc!

Also I’m kinda happy I disappeared from the forums for a while, this thread got really dark, really fast. :\

I guess the real question is…would my character feel pain he died from overdosing on Asprin tablets.

I reject your reality and substitute it for my own.
