Help Bath drowning?

[Fire&Ash]

I have a bottle of hydrocodone-acetaminophen 5-335 mg and was thinking if I made a bath of water and took a few like 5 tabs could I drown?

No, that sounds like a bad and unreliable idea. Also, do you only have 5 pills? That's almost guaranteed not to kill you. Medicine is a terrible choice in general for suicide, it's unreliable and often leads to suffering and pain for days. If you did take pills, you should take the whole bottle and then some. It's almost a 0% chance you'd drown though! Taking a bottle, swimming out into a lake/ocean and swimming as far as you can would give you a better chance. BUT it would not be pretty or easy.

There's a chance your body's panic response during drowning may override the drowsy effect of the opioid. I wouldn't risk it

Alcohol+any sedatives could work. A lot of people seem to drown in bathtubs or hot tubs each year after they pass out drunk, but it might take more than one attempt to actually go under after you pass out.

Water temperature seems to have an impact as well:

Alcohol Use Likely Culprit In Hot Tub Drownings
In the East Bay Times article, it says that safety experts were surprised when they learned that hot tub drownings were more likely to occur in the Western states, but they quickly suggested the likely culprit in many of the hot tub drownings may be alcohol use.

"You get into a hot tub to relax and you drink to relax. When you put those two things together, you get more than you bargain for," Jonathan Howland, an epidemiologist at Boston University and a national expert on death by drowning, told the Times. "The heat leads to dilation of the blood vessels, along with the alcohol. People are basically having a drop of blood pressure and having the equivalent of a faint," said Howland.

Tony Gomez, manager of the Injury and Violence Prevention Division at the Seattle Public Health Department told the Times that up to 70 percent of all hot tub and pool drownings involving adults that are investigated by his department are alcohol-related.

"What we hear from those that survive or those that witnessed a drowning with alcohol impaired swimmers (and) soakers is that they just fell asleep or went unconscious and slipped under the water," Gomez said.

II have thought of this Method, but you have to know how much alcohol is stinging

El alcohol y cualquier sedante podrían funcionar. Mucha gente parece ahogarse en bañeras o jacuzzis cada año tras desmayarse borracha, pero podría requerirse más de un intento para quedar completamente inconsciente después de un desmayo.

La temperatura del agua también parece tener un impacto:

He pensado en este método, pero hay que saber cuánto alcohol pica. I have thought of this Method, but you have to know how much alcohol is stinging.
