Overuse of tylenol and ibuprofen is a major medical problem actually.

Yes, they can be and are abused.

Interesting. How and why are they abused?

not abused for a "high", but abused in the sense of chronic pain or perceived chronic pain.

Can have devastating effects on the kidneys.

Yes, but is it a spiritual problem? Is it a sign that someone is spiritually off course? (Because that was how the example was given in the lesson.)

If an LDS person has a martini every night, is he off course?

What would you classify as abuse? Taking more than that the suggested dose, or taking it for too long of a period?

Yes. And Mormons who want to drink start with Martini's because they know them from the James Bond movies they aren't supposed to watch.

A Martini would be a great way to start because most likely that would be your last drink also.

I am not seeing the connection between a martini and an Advil. Care to explain?
