The reasoning behind this is that many suicides are spur of the moment decisions. Very few people go out to buy pain killers with a view to committing suicide. It's having them in the house in sufficient quantities at a vulnerable time that can push people over the edge. Limiting the amount you can buy at one time is supposed to decrease the stock people normally keep. Not to prevent planned suicides (the minority), but to prevent suicides that happen because the means just happen to be there.

That sounds like rollocks to me. Do they really want you to break up that multipack of lager that's on their shelves?
