Of course it's a topic that I'm sure gets discussed by newbies like myself on a recurring cycle. But, in any case, by voluntary drowning, you could time your death to within about 1 minute, which is much more accurate than if you were to wait for hypothermia. Who knows how long that would take. And accurate timing would be critical. Also, if I took too many narcotics, I might not be functional enough to do the job properly. Actually, because the water is so cold, you wouldn't actually have your lungs filled with water. The first blast of cold water on your larynx would cause it to spasm quite nicely. After that, you might not be able to change your mind even if you wanted to. That's why it would be helpful to be dopey and numb.
