Answer 3

Liver failure is in your friends future. Very hard on the body. The liver is the filter that will have to absorb the advil. its not a quick death either. Get some help by telling a parent

Answer 4

You can overdose on Advil and Tylenol. They both affect your kidneys and liver in different ways. Too much can cause your kidneys and liver to fail. Tell your friend it is not a fun way to "overdose" or die. I had a friend who says she "accidentally" took too much Tylenol but we all knew she meant to do it. She ended up in the hospital with kidney failure. She was in such bad shape, her other organs were starting to fail as well. After a long time in the hospital, she finally pulled through.

It is not completely impossible to overdose on anti-depressants although it could take a very long and painful time to die and other factors would have to be in play. There are several medications that if taken with alcohol could kill you.
