"In total, 227,548 (alcohol-intake, n=48,581; no-alcohol-intake, n=178,967) patients were included. After adjusting for age, time of injury, use of public ambulance, and season, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that injuries were more likely to be severe in the alcohol-intake group than in the no-alcohol-intake group (odds ratio, 1.60; 95% confidence interval, 1.47–1.75)."


When people drink the likelihood of them engaging in risky behavior without good cause increases drastically. On top of that their judgement and ability to execute tasks accurately is diminished. "Dumb" was a casual way to describe that. No disrespect intended.

This explains it. It's only related to vehicular accidents not other accidents.

I dont generally post much anymore, generally so exhausted with life I just think whats the point……..but thought I would mention my latest "attempt ", if you can call it that.

I am going through a nightmare, a story too long and complicated to explain, but suicide is on my mind every second of every single day!

I have planned out my suicide and arranged everything so Im ready to go on many occasions,(mainly drowning attempts). So this weekend just gone, I got drunk and had everything in place for another attempt. I was convinced I could do it.

My preference is drowning, but its not easy to find the correct place or scenario to carry that out. So I wanted to try full suspension hanging instead. I have tried "partial" a few times but SI kicks in massively and its too easy just to stand up or back out.

So I felt I wanted to give myself less chance, and found my spot at home where I could fully suspend myself, it was from the loft hatch which is high enough, with a pull up exercise bar taking my weight.

I stood on my chair ready to kick it away, and put my head in the slipknot noose. I tested a few times before fully committing, so I had confidence the ligature wouldn't snap.

After standing there for about 20/25 minutes and my brain trying desperately to talk myself out of it (SI again), I reached up and eased myself off the chair, and kicked it away.

The strain and sheer pain from the pressure is immense, its like every drop of blood in your body is filling your head……such a horrible feeling. I was reaching out to grab things in panic, as expected, but couldn't.

I was probably swinging around for 30/40 seconds, felt hazy and in pain, but I just couldn't pass out. And the pain was so overwhelming I managed to reach the pull up bar and lift myself high enough for my head to pop out of the noose. I dropped to the floor hurting my ankle and just lay there gasping for air and crying like a failure.

I feel if I had passed out, then I wouldn't be typing this now. So why when I watch hanging videos do they achieve unconsciousness so easily? I felt the noose was positioned correctly, under my jaw and above my adams apple. So why didn't I lose consciousness after 12 seconds like everyone states?

I feel the set up was correct, the 10mm rope was the recommended one, the height was right……..so why did I fail? Why is it just so damn hard to just end it? I feel distraught today because its yet another attempt that failed.

I will try again, but I don't live alone and the timing has to be perfect.

Has anyone else tried full suspension? Any tips at where I may of gone wrong?

I understand its all about the pressure on the carotid artery but it certainly felt my whole weight was applied to it.

My throat hurts today, when I swallow. Not been able to eat much. Neck feels strained as well which is to be expected.

Im baffled

Cudos for having a courage for full suspension. I accumulated pills and even thinking of combining partial and OD somehow. I blacked out only twice, out on 50 and more attempts. As soon as my neck stops hurting, I will try again. I go crazy seeing people in movies hanging themselves with whatever they got, partials made even from bed/radiators. Whn I read statistics and see how many people committed suicide with hanging, I feel like an utter moron. Does anyone have some useful links, I have read almost everything here? I have seen also some trick with metal ring which potentiate knot or something, but I didn't understand it quite well.
