Could I have killed myself the other day?

Ok so I'm 15 and I don't drink a lot very often. But the other day I went to a sleepover with my girl friends and I drank quite a lot. Long story short: I drank 11 vodka shots, some Malibu, 2 glasses of sourz and nearly a whole bottle of Bacardi breezer. Obviously after all this, I felt very rough. My sober friend had ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA that you weren't supposed to give pain killers whilst drinking. And obviously I was too drunk to know what I was doing. So I took 2 of them. I felt ok, and didnt feel any side effects from doing so. It is the first time that I have got that drunk and took pain killers. And I am NOT going to do it again, but could I have killed myself the other night? And before you give me a lecture, I do realise what I have done, and I know I'm an idiot. I have had a lot going on in my life lately including suffering with depression/self harm and I just wanted some fun and it went too far. Thanks :)

    It's all about quantity. Too much alcohol and/or too much painkiller, or too much of both in combination can kill. Since you don't drink often you have a low tolerance for alcohol so that helped because you felt ill before your blood alcohol level became as high as it would with a regular binge drinker.

    I would never mix anything with alcohol especially pain killers. You can always talk to someone if you are suffering from depression there is always someone who will listen.

    Well you just need to get out there more man.. I have to same issue. Except so many factors are disturbing me, actual self, crack up issues, family associates issues, buddies issues, earnings issues.. A ton of factors, just my lifestyle is ripping a aspect and i think about the same factor as you do fairly much all day but i just cant carry myself to end it. Idk it will just experience much better to disappear but its difficult to carry yourself to that factor. I genuinely think i will, i missing my gf, and im going to reduce my g-pa in a issue of your time. You just need to socialize who will cure you right and also out with close relatives. Be a aspect of groups or acquire a active activity. Anything to keep you active and satisfied. With regards to your romantic lifestyle, you will fulfill someone one day, no prob. But just get out there and be with your buddies.

    Could have died but you did not congrats. Most times people take a person to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped if they are too unresponsive.

    Painkillers and alcohol are NEVER a good combination. Yes, you could have died. Good thing you lived to tell about it, and good thing you've learned your lesson...
