    It's quite hard to die from aspirin overdose. According to the CAS sheet, you'd have to ingest at least a hundred tablets of extra strength aspirin if you weighed 70KG to possibly die half the time (the LD50).. however, this is a difficult thing to do since your body will force copious, horrible vomiting once the stomach starts to absorb about a quarter of that dose.

    Once you do survive, bathed in your own puke and fully conscious, you will become completely deaf for weeks, you will vomit blood and cough up blood from your lungs because of the delayed blood clotting effect, you'll be hideously nauseous and dizzy due to blood thinning and your kidneys will probably be permanently damaged. Your stomach lining will be perforated and you'll be unable to eat for days or weeks.

    It would be an horrific death, but most likely it would be an horrific recovery.

    • he also forgot the part where your chest hurts like hell and you can't breath ringing in your ears - numbness in your ears etc.

      I took a lot of aspirin and didn't actually barf from it I think I ended up barfing from how dirty the hospital was - a guy was shitting all over the floors.
