It probably comes down to how healthy your liver is. True this to some extent --though for NSAIDS it's more likely to be whether or not you're prone to bleeding.
Tylenol (acetaminophen/paracetamol) is a straight-up liver toxin --you can literally commit suicide with an overdose, though you really wouldn't want to. There are much less painful ways.
Just don't take too much of either in a 24 hour period and you should be fine.

As an aside, my liver is very possibly damaged. I may have to give up drinking.

For complicated contractual reasons, I must claim authorship of that one, but Fishface definitely uses it much more often than I do. Because it's so great, Greenie.

In the Doobie Bro's classic "Black Water", he sings "catfish are jumpin'". But catfish are bottom-feeders. I don't think they DO that much jumping. So, I quizzed coworkers all day on this. Most didn't have any idea and wanted to be as far from me as possible asap; One suggested it might refer to catfish heads popping up out of the water gobbling down mosquito larvae? Hey, he's been fishing hundreds of times more than me. Maybe he's seen such a spectacle? Another suggested that they (The Doobie Brothers) were probably on drugs. Again, quite possible. All I could think of was maybe it meant the fishing was good on the Blackwater River. You know, catfish are jumping - because they're hooked on a line(?).
Any ideas on this? I'm interested in any interpretations.

Can't speak as to whether catfish jump or not. Sometimes, though, songwriters just put names/references/concepts into lyrics to evoke settings, emotions, so on...
So, "Black Water" wants to evoke some kind of "Southern" mood. Well good ol' boys do go fishing. But they're not wading out into a nice cool river to fly-fish for speckled trout, right? So it has to be a "Southern" fish. And "Lake Sturgeon" and "Alligator Gar" don't match up with the tune very well.
So, "Catfish" it is -- people in the South eat Catfish, right?
It's all about as plausible as someone being born and raised in South Detroit...strangely, that didn't affect Journey's record sales one bit.

Is that not a reference to "Summertime" by Gershwin?

As the resident expert on all things piscatorial, let me assure you that catfish do jump. Most bottom feeders do. It's sort of like JAWS: THE REVENGE. When you least expect it, a fish sometimes wants to see what's going on above the water's surface. Most catfish of course are not putting their heads out of the water to find their prey like the Great White in that remarkable film, but just for the hell of it, they'll definitely jump.

And here I was thinking them ol' catfish was jumpin' in the ol' fryin' pan. Jeff tried to scare me with the local lore about Volkswagen Bug-sized catfish lurking by the Kentucky Dam. Didn't scare me as much as his general ranting over the end of "Black Water" itself. That's when he'd let his inner cracker come out.

On a similar note: I know people who won't eat catfish because they are considered "bottom feeders". I always think to myself: "Have you not noticed chickens? They will eat anything and everything they can peck up off the ground, and everybody loves eating chicken."

They are bottom feeders but so are lobsters and they're considered a delicacy.

Right. I remember reading somewhere that they used to feed lobster to prisoners because it was considered garbage food and it was very, very cheap.
