Worth noting that you can easily obtain N-Acetyl Cysteine (e.g. from Amazon), which is an effective antidote to paracetamol toxicity (and the mechanism suggests it can be taken preventatively).

I don't think a mechanism suggesting that it can be taken preventatively is enough to suggest that it should be taken. It's a separate drug with it's own side effects.

Before taking it preventatively I would like to see studies that suggest that it's benefitial to take it in that fashion.
