If I do fail my attempt, or any future attempts, cant I just say I was drunk to avoid getting put in a ward?

Like deadass, if I fail and police, parents, enemies, whatever come over to take me away cus "only crazy people commit suicide" cant I just always be like "oh, shit, I had no idea what was happening, I was drinking out of my mind a few hours before and didnt realize what I was doing"

I had a previous suicide attempt on a college campus and needed to be hospitalized for 3 days in order for them to stabilize me. The attending doctor suggested a stay in the psych ward but I said that I really didn't want to go and that I'd seek a therapist after I was released. I'm not sure if this is normal, but they did let me leave the hospital.

Happened a 2nd time too when I voluntarily checked myself into a ER. The psychiatrist on call let me leave if I promised I'd seek professional help. I think it helped that it was around the holidays, though.

Sadly, it doesn't work and I wished it was that easy. While I never been put/sent to a psych ward nor been involuntarily committed against my will, I have known people who end up in temporary holds who didn't even attempt suicide. Those people were merely acting out, drunk, or otherwise under the influence of something. While it is possible some of them have checked in voluntarily, there are quite a few of them that are there temporarily, under psych holds (1-3 days).

My last attempted wasn't counted by my pysc team because I was drunk but they tend to check blood alcohol levels when they check if you're under the influence of anything either by blood or breathalyser. mine wasn't counted because I had high blood alcohol levels. It was counted as alcohol induced psychosis though

Sadly, they have no sense of reason or empathy and have no reason to listen to you. That's why you unfortunately have to ensure the first attempt is successful if you commit, I wish it wasn't so brutally difficult.

So the general answer is a big "no" in the end. Oh well, I'll prepare and get it right so I won't have the misfortune to talk to any of them
