The panel’s recommendation — which the FDA is mostly likely to follow — comes after many reports regarding the long-term damage to the liver that this narco-Tylenol combo can cause. 

As we hear from the NY Times (via JoeMyGod, who clearly knows his audience):

The panel’s 20-17 vote to recommend a ban on the combination drugs was one of 11 it took at a meeting called to advise the F.D.A. on problems arising from the extraordinary popularity of acetaminophen. In 2005, American consumers bought 28 billion doses of products containing the ingredient.

Personally, we prefer drugs that make us shit immediately, not drugs that make us feel sort of itchy and clog up our poopers for a week. But we’ve met a few fans of Vicodin who swear by it on a given Thursday with a glass of wine, so for them, we mourn. Everyone else, please refer to our Gay Primer to Fatal Drug Interactions.
