especially if you combine benzo and alcohol? i don't understand why it would be impossible, do we have proof that it can't be done or something?

well, typically when i see this combo irl the person blacks out and does stupid shit instead of dying then doesnt remember any of it
if you're going by drugs you definitely want to shoot for opiates and make sure no one is around to save you. lots of drugs are really hard to totally die from and super uncomfortable.

It's not impossible, it's just that the lethality is low.

I've never done stupid shit on benzos before (i take them for insomnia, i've taken more than i should when i wanted to forget about things) so i don't see it as being that likely?

combined with alcohol black outs?
it's not exactly a secret that that's the way to have a fucked off night of craziness
i have also seen plenty of people just go to sleep. but yeah didnt die. and ive seen some heroic doses too.

i tried it once tbh? just a couple shots and two or three xanax. just passed out and slept for a while. absolutely shit hangover, but i didn't do anything embarrassing.
hence my thought that upping the amounts would lead to enough organ damage to place me into a coma or even kill me.

everyone is different so take this with a grain of salt as it's just my personal experience of something i witnessed but i killed a gallon of whisky with this dude who i watched eat a whole script of xanax right in front of my face
that's about as hard core as it gets and he is still alive to this day the crazy bastard. i think he is a freak of nature tho lol.
i feel like little bit of xanax and alcohol on a freezing night would be a good way to go. i've almost frozen to death a couple times living outside and it surprised me how comfortably i slept while shivering my ass off.

I used to get absolutely shitfaced on alcohol in combination with HUGE doses of all kinds of benzos. Was basically starving myself at the time too so things hit even harder. Never came even close to dying. Not a big person, short slim girl. I would black out and do regrettable things, steal anything in sight, and eventually pass out with little memory of what had happened. There are entire weeks I don't remember because I was drinking and doing Xanax the entire time.

It's probably technically possible to die from the combination, but it is incredibly rare. Even if you got your hands on an insane amount of pills I doubt it.

While alcohol can help potentiate benzos, I don't think even that would be enough to make you CTB. (If it did, it'll be more due to alcohol poisoning than anything the benzos did.) The only way I think you can CTB from benzos alone is if you have a pre-existing condition that gives you breathing problems like sleep apnea, then you could possibly CTB from respiratory depression.

I wonder if one could try this kind of combo in the bath maybe once a week until you might drown with it. The drowning might not happen, but then another bathtime you might get the bus….I've considered doing ketamine baths if/when get a supply as a less painful method than wolfsbane.

My mind tonight is better than usual thanks to zinc so I will post about that in recovery section…. plus weed, one beer, St John's Wort…That's my disclaimer because pro choice thing to discuss ctb when not suicidal (for one evening for one time)

I don't think anyone sensible would say the word impossible. Very few things are. It's dangerous to use that word in conjunction with most things in this life.

But when you're talking about a method people are generally interested in probabilities because that's defining the likelihood of an outcome. Benzos are not very lethal and very good at knocking you out so that means there's a lot of chance you'll just black out, or puke up the high amount you take to try and circumvent low lethality.

This people say it's not a very reliable method and they're probably right.
