I always try hanging with alcohol. Imo, there's a sweet spot,for me. Once, I hadn't drank much at all and I almost died, but I got loose because as my vision was blacking out/getting light spots, I thought I heard my bf's car lock.
I had wanted to do it if he'd been gone longer.. I knew he'd try to save me.
The rest of the times, I've gotten too drunk. I threw up mid hang once, it was awful. Sometimes I passed out before even getting the rope, sometimes my chest was pounding and i felt sick, but my mind wasn't subdued enough.
I haven't found that sweet spot again and it's been a year. I'm going to try again tomorrow.
Other than hanging, I've tried mixing alcohol with other prescription drugs and OTC drugs,and that never works. I've also tried tying bags around my head but I always tear them off in my sleep. If I ever have a chance to try that again, I'd like to find a way to tie my hands behind my back.
