Method Drunk drowning?

[Quiet_Cricket]

Would drowning while drunk be a reliable method? How painful would it be?

You'd have to be drunk beyond measure (no pun intended) in order to make it any less of an ordeal. Drunkenness is a state that can of course help CTB and indeed make us think of it, but it can only help up until a point. Even if you passed out while drunk, your body will of course sober up somewhat and quite quickly in such an instance.

It would depend on how drunk you were, I guess. You'd have to be basically unconscious not to feel the bad part of drowning but it would definitely make it slightly less bad and give your SI less chance to save you since drunk people suck at swimming anyway.

It's one of the options that seems most doable to me. Take some diazepam or whatever, swim as far as I can and hope the 15 seconds is worth it.

I'm going to do the same, but I'm going to use phenobarbital + morphine + alcohol and I'm going to drown in the bathtub

Are you asking because Matthew Perry died drunk in his jacuzzi ?

Drowning questions are often asked. Imo unless you are not totally unconscious it's painful and very unpleasant. Can you swim?

It's difficult to get so deeply unconscious with alc alone.

it depends on the water conditions though, let's say that the river is swollen or even overflood, SI cant do anything and you will die in few minutes because the current would be so strong that you will be helpless, the same if you go when the sea is huge and under a storm

yes true. and very cold water temp would also be beneficial.

I've been looking into this, and it seems water around 106°f is where you'd want it for this method:

Alcohol Use Likely Culprit In Hot Tub Drownings

"You get into a hot tub to relax and you drink to relax. When you put those two things together, you get more than you bargain for," Jonathan Howland, an epidemiologist at Boston University and a national expert on death by drowning, told the Times. "The heat leads to dilation of the blood vessels, along with the alcohol. People are basically having a drop of blood pressure and having the equivalent of a faint," said Howland.

Tony Gomez, manager of the Injury and Violence Prevention Division at the Seattle Public Health Department told the Times that up to 70 percent of all hot tub and pool drownings involving adults that are investigated by his department are alcohol-related.

106 °F = 42°C ? you need cold water .... 0°C is best to lower body temp as fast as possible which will lead to quick exhaustion ...

idk I'm just going by what I'm reading here

temperature of bath tub to faint

I can't take hot baths because they make me lightheaded even sober, so it makes sense. I also take propranolol daily so that might have something to do with it.
