  Lack of oxygen does

    Paradoxically it’s only build up of CO2 or foriegn matter, including water that will wake someone up. Hypoxia makes it more likely to pass out and drown.

    I guess if you get some water in your lungs it might make sense that you struggle to get enough oxygen. I guess it depends on how deep of an inhale you take before you notice and start to wake up

  I’m sure the sleeping in the bath problem would be a sudden awakening when you take your first gulp of water…but a person who’s had a lot to drink may not wake up

    Yeah thats why I’m so sceptical of this whole thing. Like, wouldn’t you just wake up before drowning?

      Yes. Your body would panic immediately.
