Answers:
Probably nothing if it was only 1000 mg. Tylenol will mess up your liver if you abuse it, though. Also, it will not get you high or anything close. Get yourself a real man who does not act so stupid.

Yes. Damage can be caused to the kidneys. You need to call your local hospital emergency room and ask if he needs to be seen. They may have you come in and give him "charcoal". This is one nasty treatment, but he might not be so inclined to try it again. If you don't want to call the hospital, call poison control. The number should be on the phone book. Here is an article from an accidental ingestion of Tylenol. FORWARD this story to your BF.
On June 24, 2003, 17-year-old Kellie Lynn McWilliams was suffering with pain from a Migraine attack and turned to Tylenol for pain relief. In pain and probably tired and groggy, Kellie took approximately 20 of the 500 mg acetaminophen capsules. That translates to ingesting 10 grams of acetaminophen; the maximum recommended within 24 hours is four grams.
When Kellie became ill, repeatedly vomiting, she was taken to the hospital. She told her mother, "I thought it was OK. It's just Tylenol, Ma." The side effects of the overdose caused kidney and liver damage resulting in organ failure, which caused her death on June 28.
