Alcohol poisoning as suicide attempt?

[asian.neet]

Never drank beer or alcohol before.

my parents have one large ass budweiser beer can in the fridge. Not sure the amount but I'm tempted to drink it then let the alcohol poison my body then I die.

Idk if it will work. Is this as bad as taking pills or is it a higher success rate than pills?

If this was so easy alcoholic beverages would long be forbidden and not easily accessible anymore. You not get alcohol poisoning from a few beers when you're not used to drinking alc. you most likely vomit long before the alc. poisoning would lead to death.

It's not about the actual amount you drink fast it's about the amount of alc that is in your blood and metabolized in the liver. That is what leads to poisoning.

I'm not 100% sure of what I'm going to say but:

From my experience with alcohol (I'm kind of a heavy drinker) you would probably vomit a lot first and wouldn't be able to continue drinking, if you can overcome that then you would probably fall unconscious (keep in mind that when you are really drunk there are moments where you lose a lot of control of the situation, specially the first times), if you don't fall unconscious then you would go into alcoholic coma before actually dying.

If you do this at home your parents will find you and take you and if you are in a coma I guess they will take you the hospital.

If you do this in a remote area I don't think (I don't know tho) if you would die if you go into an alcoholic coma, I think you would just wake up really dehydrated.

No, chance, sorry. Especially not on beer, you'd be taking up way more fluid than alcohol and thereby limiting your intake. Might be fun though.

I've tried this back in 2022. 48% Alcohol, 750mL. I started crying uncontrollably and passed out within 10 or so mins (I don't remember the exact timings, everything was very hazy). Due to my loud cries, my sister found me and she immediately took me to the ER. At the public hospital ER, My BP was almost 60/40. They were trying to keep me stabilized, but apparently I was descending into a coma and my chances of survival were low. She then rushed me to another private hospital with better facilities, where I woke up 12hrs later, still semi-conscious. The doctors told me what happened after I passed out, they did tell me that I was very close to dying if my sis hadn't rushed me to the hospital with better facilities. I survived, however I have slight liver damage. Take care. Edit: I forgot to mention I took Ondansetron so that I didn't vomit, so they had to do a gastric wash. Also a catheter up your little jhonny is painful as balls

I have drunk until I blacked out a few times and woken up the next morning with a hangover so I have no idea how anyone actually dies from alcohol.

I had a neighbor a few houses down who died of alcohol poisoning and they ruled it as a suicide however yeah it takes quite a bit of drinking and other factors like body weight to be successful

 

[undecided]

I doubt anyone's died from drinking "one large ass budweiser beer" before! But, good luck with that!

Disulfiram-alcohol reaction - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

You may try to use disulfiram/metronidazole/cephalosporins before consuming alcohol.
These drugs interfere with alcohol metabolism and enhance the toxicity.

But still I don't recommend this. Reported death rate is so low (1 in 30000).

iv drunk enough that it would have probably killed me before, if I didn't spend the next 8 hours throwing up with the worst headache of my life. Death by alcohol is usually slow and takes years
