The Great Tylenol Caper of 2019
In a shocking turn of events that left many teenagers feeling like they'd been kicked in the sinuses, Texas decided to raise the age limit for buying over-the-counter cough medicine. Yes, you read that right. Cough syrup, the elixir of life for college students and those with particularly dramatic coughs, is now off-limits to minors.
QuickTip: Scan quickly, then go deeper where needed.
Why, oh why, Texas? Did someone finally figure out that NyQuil isn't a magic potion for turning you into a human marshmallow? Or perhaps they were tired of dealing with teens who thought they were invincible after downing a bottle of Robitussin? Whatever the reason, it's a bummer for anyone under 18 who's battling a cold.
QuickTip: Break down long paragraphs into main ideas.
Tylenol: Still Fair Game (For Now)
But fear not, headache sufferers! Tylenol, your trusty sidekick in the fight against pain, is still available to all ages. So, while you might have to ask a slightly older sibling or parent for that cough syrup, you can still self-medicate your headache to your heart's content. Just remember, moderation is key. Overdosing on Tylenol is about as fun as getting a root canal without anesthesia.
Tip: Keep your attention on the main thread.

How to Navigate the New Tylenol World Order
So, you're an adult now (at least when it comes to buying cough medicine). Congratulations! But with great power comes great responsibility. Here are a few tips to help you navigate this brave new world:
Tip: Scroll slowly when the content gets detailed.
- How to avoid awkwardness at the checkout counter: Just be prepared to show your ID. It's like getting a fake ID, but, you know, legal and less cool.
- How to survive a cold without cough medicine: Chicken soup, plenty of fluids, and maybe a good book. Oh, and complaining loudly to your parents about how unfair life is.
- How to explain to your teenage sibling why you can buy cough medicine and they can't: Just say, "It's the law." And then maybe offer to share your Tylenol.
- How to stock up on cough medicine before your birthday: This is a highly illegal and unethical practice. Don't do it.
- How to appreciate the simple things in life: Like being able to buy pain relievers without any drama.
Remember, this is just a temporary setback. One day, you'll be able to buy all the cough syrup your heart desires. Until then, stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and enjoy the sweet, sweet freedom of being able to buy Tylenol whenever you want.
