is the SN intoxication similar to getting drunk?

[lnlybnny]

i need to know if the SN intoxication feels like when you drink too much and throw up... that shit is so annoying and horrible, i guess i wouldn't be able to drink a second glass, for example

I wouldn't class it as getting drunk..

how is it? i hate getting sick from being drunk (i just threw up a lot and it's awful)

Probably, in both cases the body is trying to expel a toxic substance

Throwing up is throwing up. SN doesn't cause you to become intoxicated. Body registers both SN and (excessive) alcohol as poisons to it, and takes immediate steps to expel (the poisons) from "itself".

Both cause vomiting and nausea, that's for sure. And I guess it's what makes you worry. But with alcohol you also get this feeling of being happy (?). If you're not very very excited about dying, there's nothing like that to expect here. Pure discomfort :(

For the feeling of vomiting, just try drinking a saturated salt solution (avoid drinking too much and drink pure water afterwards).

Alcohol makes you feel happy by affecting your brains gaba receptors and depressing the central nervous system, I imagine there's a lot of discomfort with SN although survivors have very varied and mixed recounts of their experiences with some saying they felt extreme discomfort and distress and others saying it was like drifting off to sleep which is probably due to the slow loss of oxygen
