Help How deep would a bathub have to be for drowning?

[WallTermite]

I think drowning is going to be the method. However I have to drive a lot to get to the coast, and it scares me too much. Would rather drown at home. How deep does a bathub have to be for that? Like, it covers my head, but will my unconscious body remove too much water?

Not very deep. It's only important that nose and mouth are covered with water. Basically, you can drown in a bowl or bucket, too. It's all about not being able to breath air. Drowning is suffocation.

Also, drowning is a non-method (non-method defined as excessively painful and/or less reliable CTB method)

Non-methods that should not be attempted

Sorry if this has already been asked, but what about stepping in front of speeding traffic on a motorway? The only drawback being that other people would end up traumatised. Besides how cruel that is to impose your death on other unsuspecting people... you are more likely to just end up being...

drowning (as well as burning / stabbing oneself) is a non method due to pain and unreliability.

I don't really know how your mind is gonna let your body drown, intoxicated or not. I'm also not sure if there's any true method that'd knock you out and would make your body okay with just drowning. Even then, you could just make yourself stand up or thrash in a way that'll get you air.

The "excessively painful" part is rather questionable even when no any analgesic or anesthetic agent is used to mitigate discomfort. Some users reported the absence of significant pain

Viability of Drowning?

Viability of drowning? I live in a coastal region, so naturally I've been growing an affection for the sea. When it comes to CTB, FSH has been the way I've accepted I'll do it. I wonder how it might compare? Hanging is more painful, but considering I get the technique right I should be lights...

Are there.. good methods?

I do not think I would rely on helium because it is rare on Earth and we have a limited amount, therefore it will be harder to find. I plan on just going down to the store and buying some nice rope, and then going home and tying a nice noose. That is, if I finally decide to do it. I don't know...

And if discomfort is a big concern, the person should just use fast-acting anesthetics like concentrated N₂O.

As for reliability,

The mentioned fatality rate for drowning seems to be a bit too good for an "unreliable non-method".

Mm yes, shallow water blackout. That may have less pain, and ofc, drowning kills many a year (and sleeping pills and similar may increase risk and reduce pain)... still, there are other methods available that can have 0 pain, and faster time to unconsciousness.

The aforementioned cases seem to refer to conscious drowning rather than shallow-water blackout.

In a well planned CTB by drowning, time to unconsciousness can be managed by auxiliary means. In particular, breathing concentrated N₂O (or other asphyxiant gas like nitrogen, butane, or tetrafluoroethane) may cause fainting within half a minute. Asphyxiation with simple asphyxiants reduces blood oxygen saturation similarly to drowning, but much faster and typically without unpleasant symptoms. So basically it's possible to use 2-stage asphyxiation to CTB:

1) gas asphyxiation to induce loss of consciousness painlessly,
2) asphyxiation by water (after consciousness is lost) to cause death.

N₂O has an advantage over N₂ because of additional dissociative and analgesic properties, mitigating any possible disturbance in the semi-conscious state.

I just don't get why complicate things with gas and water vs just gas. I have a feeling 2 or so tanks of nitrogen would turn a car into a coffin... but idk the volume of air and amount of litres needed.
