Best way seems to be go out walking in the Scottish Highlands, with a half finished bottle of spirits during a nice snowstorm, or at least a sub-zero night. Wear a nice shirt/clean underpants/trousers/socks/shoes but no thermals.

The Whisky stops you feeling cold and stops you from shivering, keep drinking and walking. You will die from hypothermia quite quickly and without pain.

Havent tried it yet, cant be arsed :P

Now theres a fully messed up plan - your out in the highlands, slowly walking to your death peacefully, then ... sh*t out of whisky! Last memories are of freezing cold and madly wanting more booze. *shudders*


Jamiz - wicked pics. Might have to check that out next summer looks well worth a drive.
