Answer 2

Well, you're not likely to die, as you would with that many tylenol, but it won't be pleasant, so there's really no reason to even consider it unless you want to be in pain for awhile and possibly cause some internal damage.

Answer 3

Um, try possible death.
Go to the ER if you have done this. And ask for a psych consult while you're being forced to ingest charcoal and you are getting your stomach pumped.
