If I ever had to say anything about Paracetamol, it would be:

Remember: Paracetamol is hepatotoxic, very strong for your liver. Never take it if you have been drinking alcohol or have a weak/damaged liver. Paracetamol is the worst thing you can have for hungover: it might reduce your headache but will hurt a liver that it's already under pressure by the alcohol you drank last night.

In moderation, as prescribed, shouldn't be bad. I'm more of an ibuprofen guy though (although I rarely take it).

While true, this is slightly overblown. I work at a liver transplant center where we treat patients with end stage liver disease and Tylenol is often the safest choice given these patients comorbidities. Granted, they’re getting their liver labs checked 1-2 times a day and are under close supervision but < 2g acetaminophen a day is considered fine. [I am not your doctor this is not medical advice]

		My cousin worked in a toxicology lab in a hospital. Way back in the 80s he was commenting on how understudied and under published Acetaminophen toxicity was. In particular, taking Tylenol for hangovers was (and still is) a common but very dangerous practice. As others have said, it is crazy easy to overdose on the stuff and suffer liver damage.
