Be careful with those sweeping generalisations.  I am not a 200
pound man (will you settle for a muscular 74 kilograms of Elf? :-)),
but I recently had a wisdom tooth extracted.  The dentist prescribed
acetaminophen #3 in case of pain, yet I never had to use it.  In
my case, any dose would have been too high.
