When I got out, I nearly fainted on a seat, feeling weak, couldn't walk or see for a few minutes, head felt like shit (lack of oxygen)

2 of my friends were there trying to keep me up

    Hot tubs can be super dangerous and most people are totally unaware of it. Lots of people die in them, it's much more common than you'd think. The heat dilates your blood vessels quickly and your blood pressure drops, then you pass out and drown if no one is watching.

    Never set the temp over 104 F (100 is way more safe), avoid using them alone, and try not to stay in for more than 15 minutes, especially if you have issues with low blood pressure.

      Drinking while in a hot tub is very dangerous. That’s how a family friend passed away, my memory is fuzzy but I believe she had a heart attack/stroke getting out of the hot tub after drinking in there with her boyfriend for a few hours.
