Once, on a bad day, when I drank too much tequila, I fell into an alcohol coma and woke up about 12 hours later in the hospital. As I researched online, alcohol coma results in death in many cases. I felt nothing throughout the entire incident, zero pain. This situation made me think about if it is possible to CTB just by drinking more alcohol than I can handle and making sure there is no one to take me to the hospital.

It is certainly possible. Your body will hit a limit where it starts to reject anything introduced orally (any more drinks). Assuming you dont puke everything out, or CTB from choking first, a very high BAC could cause brain death or at least totally incapacitate you. This way is definitely difficult to self induce and I don't know how successful you would be using alcohol alone.

I was just thinking about that today. I also got in an alcoholic coma and woke up with a plastic tube of glicose in my left arm, that shit is THICK, I don't remember feeling a thing. There was a guy that drunk 1 liter of Brazilian cachaça and died, so it's definitely possible. If it goes wrong tho, imagine the hangover

It's definitely possible.

I'd probably want to make sure that my head was in a position that would force me to choke on my own vomit in my sleep.

this is part of my method. i'm taking alcohol + opioids as well as some other otc drugs. the amount of alcohol i plan to drink is deadly on it's own. mixed with the drugs it should work for me. you need to get to a bac of around 0.5 - 0.7 depending on your tolerance to die. it's deffiently possible but hard to get it all down. there's a few types of drugs you can add with the alcohol to increase your success rate. good luck <3

Let's talk science. We will employ two terms, BAC and standard drink. BAC stands for blood alcohol content, and a standard drink is one serving of drink. All servings of drinks (I mean the way they're served to you at a restaurant or so) raise your BAC in a similar manner, more or less. Approximately 400ml of beer equals 140ml of wine, as beer has less alcohol than wine and so on and so forth. The more alcohol a drink contains, the smaller its volume in a standard drink. Distilled drinks such as rum or gin, which stand at 40% alcohol, only require 40mls for one standard drink. The point of a standard drink is that they all contain about 14g of alcohol. One standard drink raises your BAC by about 0.01-0.02%. The risk of death starts at around 0.3% BAC, depending on your weight and previous alcohol tolerance. So if you're of small frame and you've never drunk before, 0.3BAC could be lethal for you. That would make about 30 standard drinks, so a minimum of 4.2L wine, even more beer or 1.2L of distilled drinks. Some people take enemas, or force a pipe down their throat to drink it all, but this would just result in vomiting and possibly acute poisoning with long term effects on your body.

So why do you think it is not a popular method. İt doesn't require any materials. Why people dont choose it? There must be some cons that I can't figure out.

Could you tell me what happened if you don't mind? I was planning to do it soon.
i live alone, so no one found me thankfully. i was mixing a bunch of different types of alcohol and probably had upwards of 30 (i dont remember how many unfortunately because i blacked out, but i do remember i hadnt finished all of the drinks i planned on because there was still some left the next day. this is also a problem with this method; passing out before finishing...)
the first time i tried i woke up (about, again i was so out of it i dont really remember) a day and a half later in the most pain of my life and covered in old vomit. i didnt go to the hospital or anything and it took almost 3 weeks to feel normal again. a hangover x1000 is the best way i can describe it. the second time was a similar experience and it happened about a month after my second attempt, but i definitely drank more so the feeling after i woke up was even worse.
it's too unreliable of a method for me, and if you do end up surviving your attempt it will just make your life even more miserable
i know i can't stop you from doing anything, and if you do try this method, i really hope you wont have the same results i did

Thank you for your response. I think I see now why it is not a popular method.

It is possible but not with classic alcohol (ethanol), because ethanol is metabolized into acetaldehyde, which is toxic, but then it is converted into acetic acid which is safe.

There's rubbing alcohol, it's a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution.
It's not as dangerous as methanol but not as safe as drinking ethanol.

Isopropyl alcohol is solely converted into acetone which is a highly potent nervous system depressant (3x stronger than alcohol):

- Lethal dose of ethanol for a 150 pound man is 300mL,
- " of acetone " is 100mL,
- " of methanol " 15mL.

Amy Winehouse died this way 😢 she was my hero I loved her music and personality
Good point & at the time of her passing, Winehouse's blood alcohol level was more than five times over the legal limit. Just been looking into her death a bit more & her Dad (Mitch) says; "We understand there was alcohol in her system when she passed away; it is likely a build up of alcohol in her system over a number of days."
So if I ever need to use this method, I would probably do it like Amy did, i.e. drink over a number of days whilst trying to expel as much food & other vitamins from my body to weaken me. Might even fill my bathtub with booze as I heard armpits can be another way to absorb it as well. Although I've never ever tried that out. But wondering if it will also be absorbed in your anus, because surely that will happen when bathing in alcohol?

Also absinthe is historically described as a highly alcoholic spirit at between 45–74%. Imagine that surpassing your stomach & getting straight into your bloodstream. Also wondering if Benzo's help with the effects of this method in any way?

Amy Winehouse was an alcohol and drug addict with an untreated, decade long eating disorder which damaged her organs even more.. her health was declining for years not just days. If you're generally healthy, I doubt this would work unless you have a similar lifestyle. I've thrown up so many times from drinking and blacked out hard the last time I drank too much (not to ctb). I'm super clean and healthy, there's no way it would work for me. You may vomit and black out before drinking enough.

It's unclear to me if it was involved, but she was prescribed Librium to help with alcohol withdrawals, a benzo, which has a lot of the same effects as alcohol (respiratory depression being how either can kill you). Taking multiple drugs with the same effects tends to be bad. They'll both lower the doses of the other required to kill. As I understand most accidental deaths from drugs are where multiple drugs have been taken.

I def do have a similar lifestyle & my unhealthy living and addictions (weed / coffee / porn & only eating junk food) has def made my body weaker...just like it did with Amy. So I am tempted to combine this with benzo's & maybe even other methods to ensure success. According to the previously posted article, "in the time leading up to her death, she was the "happiest she has been for years" and had even recently gone three weeks alcohol-free."

So her torrance levels would have been reduced from the 3 weeks detox. I bet when relasping after those 3 weeks being clean she still when in at the same heavy drinking levels as before being clean. That same issue apparently causes a lot of unintended Herion OD's & ctb's. So just like SN, there seems a little bit of prep work before hand to increase your chances. Thanks Amy for the lesson!

Yes that's what likely happened - build up of tolerance, being clean, and then overestimating how much she could drink later.

However, in general it's still not a recommended method to CTB. It is very unreliable. It would be miserable drinking for months, getting clean, and then drinking again after being clean. That's less prep work, and more so just 'swinging' it.

A person in this situation is more likely to throw up and have a wicked hangover, than to actually die.

Neverending Suffering

I pretty much tried this a couple months ago on my birthday, and again over this weekend. The first time was three days of hard drinking, this last time it was just two before I tapped out. The thing is, I just have a really high tolerance, and the genetics as well to be able to handle it in large amounts. I've drank easily over a thousand dollars of alcohol in the past two months--granted I do drink expensive shit... nice drinks of all varieties.

Though I've decided I'm simply done with this shit. Do I want to fucking kill myself? Sure. Some days are easier than others no doubt.. and the drinking has been one of the few things I can look forward to and enjoy for a bit. But it turns nasty rather quickly and then you're caught up in a huge mess. The hangovers are in every sense a living hell. And to top it off not only will you be recovering for multiple days, but you will be doing so with the realization that you're still here. I've only now just recovered from this last bout and I'm just done with it. It's not a reliable method.

That's why people don't choose it. Because generally, it'll take years and years of hard drinking to actually kill yourself. And there's a lot of pain and suffering on that road it's like what the fuck--now you're just living with extra steps. With this ugly monkey on your back...

The thing is it's not even hard for me to take days, or weeks, sometimes even months off from drinking but the depression... the goddamned depression will always be there. Rearing it's ugly head. And then I'll want to again because it's like what's the fucking point of not doing it? So I can be somewhat healthier in the long run? The fuck does that matter for a suicidal person.

And really no, I don't recommend it either. It CAN work theoretically but practically speaking you're just going to get fucked up, wake up feeling like complete dogwater, and have even more anxiety knowing that not only are you still alive but now you have even more shit to deal with.

But I'm going to figure something out. Live or die I'm done with trashing myself into sweaty hangover hell. That's for damn sure.
