Could mixing benzodiazepines with alcohol be lethal?

Depends what you mean by lethal.

If you take enough of each in combination, depending on your own physiology and medical history you may depress your central nervous system so much that you stop breathing.

You may also get so drunk and sedated that you vomit and aspirate your own vomit if you're lying on your back or another position where that is possible.

But either scenario is a gamble. It's not a reliable way to CTB.

Sadly no you will most likely have a nice long kip & a banging hangover.

The only way that could work was if you were to vomit in your sleep while lying on yer back & even then that is a useless gamble. If you have access to Bento's then you would be better off looking at the methods section & using them for something in there. Or even better yet just chill out for a bit.

Modern benzos are extremely difficult to OD on, even when mixed with alcohol or other drugs that compliment their depressive effects. The days of swallowing a bottle of prescription depressants with a bottle of booze to CTB are gone, because too many people did it and the drug companies were basically forced to come up with new drugs that weren't potentially lethal, and that's what's prescribed these days.

The only thing you're likely to accomplish with a benzo OD these days is a forced commitment to a psychiatric facility for a failed suicide attempt.
