I'd imagine it's hyperbole. A tbsp is likely enough to just snort and not have (too many) issues. People do drown in surprisingly shallow waters, however.

- Filligree 1y agoIt’s not hyperbole. It requires prior incapacitation, but if you’re unconscious then even a tiny amount of water can kill you. Similarly, intoxication vastly degrades the instincts that would otherwise keep you alive. I will never understand how people think getting drunk is _fun_.

I did not consider this case, as well as the mechanism the other reply described. Thanks, safety tip noted >I will never understand how people think getting drunk is _fun_ Haha, I definitely do.
- pinkmuffinere 1y agoRe: intoxication, I don’t really like drinking either, but I can kindof understand the appeal. It makes me overthink everything less, so I can be more unfiltered. That can be fun, especially for dancing/stuff like that — if you feel self-conscious while dancing I’d recommend trying a couple drinks first. But I’m not a perfect person, and usually I want some filter, I rarely drink
