Out of curiosity why isn't alcohol and medications considered a suicide method?

I always thought that it was traditional for the suicider to wash the pills down with cheap gin

if you're thinking of suicide please don't do it there's people out there dying and suffering and they don't give up neither should you get to a therapist or doctor here are some suicide hotlines don't give up tell someone you can be happy and healthy

Suicide isn't accidental. Choking on your own vomit though taking to many pills and booze or, for example, dying from an axphysiwank without the intention of killling oneself is misadventure.

I don't know, maybe because it isn't the traditional method of suicide like hanging, drowning or slitting throat is.
