Alcohol suicide

[TheHatedOne]

Does anyone know how much alcohol it's needed in order to die? I'm an alcoholic who drinks every night and I have pretty high tolerance of alcohol but and can drink a lot but I need to practice since I took a long break. In the past I used to empty a whole bottle of brandy in few hours. I drink liquor+brandy+vodka together and it takes me few days to finish all bottles. It would be nice to take this way since hanging is really scary, at least with alcohol I'll be numb and won't care.

Alcohol poisoning would take a lot for an alcoholic, and not a good chance of CTB, IMO.

do you know how much quantity does it take?

Can't you first drink alcohol and then hang? You can even make the noose and place it around your neck, then drink alcohol and chill and then tie the other end of the rope.

I don't know how much alcohol. Maybe try drinking as much alcohol as you can at once and see what happens? Though you might end up puking a lot. Place covers on floors in that case.

The thing is that for me hanging is really scary and it has chances of failure whereas drinking the RIGHT amount of alcohol will make you die. I need to know abput the queantity and I'm curious to hear stories about those who comitted suicide by alcohol if anyone has any stories or articles.

What I meant is that if you drink a lot of alcohol and get really drunk, do you still fear hanging?

I've never heard of someone instantly dying after drinking alcohol, it always takes years or decades. I have heard news of a water drinking competition in Russia. Someone drank 3 litres of water at once and died (and placed only second, the winner drank even more). So I guess if drinking 3 litres of water can kill you, then 3 litres of alcohol at once could kill you too, but don't quote me on this.

I wonder if it's the alcohol or the amount of liquid in your body that would kill you if you tried to ctb by drinking alcohol.

I might get told off for saying this in which case will edit or delete. But perhaps getting really drunk and swimming out to sea might be a good way to go about it. I've considered it myself a few times after reading about people who got drunk and later drowned. I did consider hypothermia though that sounds the root to amputation.

I was just thinking about it... you always see in the movies that "Ethyl Coma", and it was among my possible plans to investigate. Logically, if taking only 2 or 3 bottles of alcohol you could just sleep and never wake up again, I think it would be a dream.
ACDC vocalist Bon Scott drowned in his porpium vomiting, sleeping in a car seat after arriving from a party. He had drunk a lot of alcohol. I think that's the leading cause of death with an ethyl coma: "Drowning in your own vomit."

Wow that's really interesting! And the 3 litres of water isn't far from the daily recommendation of 2 litres. But yeah I shouldnt get too hyped up over this I know that the quantity of alciohol must be a lot but i'm willing to put myself to extreme since in my life I had to constantly live in extremes.

Thing is that I get a bit more courageous after i drink but hanging is scary no matter if im drunk or sober.

I couldnt see myself going through drowning even drunk, it's scarier than jumping.

I think if you got drunk enough you wouldn't have to worry about the fear of drowning. You'd just pass out and slip away.

The only problem with being drunk to commit suicide is that if there is not enough planning before... I could fail everything and survive with sequels... I think.

(For example on the beach the tide can easily take you to the shore)

If you already drink those amounts I would say it will be difficult due to the tolerance, likely you will throw up or pass out long before actually drinking yourself to respiratory depression which is what would be lethal. People that die this way are usually young with no tolerance and low body weight.
Alcohol combined with other cns depressants is however quite effective but it's still sketchy at best, likely you end up in a hospital bed and suicide watch (I tried would not recommend)

me who's both fat and with high alcohol tolerance: ''faaaakkkk i'm so cursed''

 

[Under The Graveyard]

Suicide by alcohol is not something I've ever heard about. Unless there is a combination of alcohol with pills you shouldn't take while drinking, I don't see this happening. The most that will happen is liver failure many years down the road.

I've attempted this method by mixing alcohol together, whiskey, vodka, and rum hoping for poisoning, all I got was extremely wasted and a nasty headache the next morning.

 

[Darkover]

my aunt was an alcoholic she die of alcoholic hepatitis basically liver failure her skin had turned yellow when i went to see her on her death bed, i wouldn't recommend death by alcoholic as it's a long draw out progress taking years if not decades, unless of course you take an overdose as well as alcohol.

 

[in pain]

As with all drug OD methods, there are many drugs that are lethal, but very few are reliably so. You will likely vomit, or do organ damage before you die. You need a more sophisticated plan like the SN method which is designed to overcome the issues that drug OD methods tend to have.

Aren't we all?
There is of course the "leaving Las Vegas way" if you're in for the long haul. I tried this as well but ended up with DT. If there is a hell within this hell, severe alcohol withdrawal sure is it.

 

[Jumping_realms]

SN is the same price as a half gallon of liquor(which likely would fail)

 

[Myono93]

Drinking as I write this. I'll pour an extra vodka for you. Google told me this: "The lethal dose of alcohol is 5 to 8g/kg (3g/kg for children)6 – that is, for a 60kg person, 300g of alcohol can kill, which is equal to 30 standard drinks (about 1 litre of spirits or four bottles of wine)."

I and many I know have blown through that. The next morning would suck but we'd be alive to suffer through it. So I call bullshit.

Yes but then you probably have tolerance and would likely consumed that 1 litre of vodka during an entire night with food in the belly. If a person weighing 60 kg with no tolerance and empty stomach downed 1 litre in say 5 min, that is probably fatal. Even if respiratory depression is unlikely you still can make sure to pass out flat on the back and die the rockstar way, drowning in your own vomit.

 

[Apricity]

If you can get and keep down 190 proof Everclear, 12 ounces will do the job. I checked for myself once. I weigh about 187lbs/85kg.

Good point. I wish I weighed 60kg.

You and me both. Lol.

 

[foreverlikethestars]

Alchohol poisoning is an especially inconsistent method that will most likely end in internal injury or just blacking out for some time; the same here applies to street drugs in general

 

[exhausteduntreatable]

My cousin almost did this accidentally. It wasn't an attempt. He's a serious alcoholic and had been slamming down high proof cocktails and shots for hours on end one day while dehydrated. Collapsed face down in his favourite dive bar. Gave himself blood alcohol poisoning but recovered in hospital. The alcohol abuse has taken a toll on his body though. As others have pointed out this is practically unheard of as a method unless it is in combination with something else.

 

[logan]

If you have a high tolerance, this will probably not work.

But there have been cases of people freezing to death overnight under the influence of alcohol.

Happens quite often here. Gets to be around -50 during winter. Usually they don't appear to be suicides. However, I couldn't say how painful it would be to get absolutely drunk beyond all comprehension and wander off into a snowbank.

That's why it's so dangerous - because in this state you don't notice anything. If you are not found in time, that's it.

Why is that? I mean the part about the destruction of the lungs is scary for me but you're discussing drowning yourself with water somewhere in this thread. I've always thought it would be peaceful if you're intoxicated.

 

[Molded foundation]

It would be pretty excruciating.
