How would a slug kill itself anyway?

I don't think there's a such thing as an alcoholic slug...but then again, with all the other strange stuff that's in the world, I guess I wouldn't be surprised...
(joke!, no offence!)

But that's not suicide...that's more of an intended slugicide caused by the gardener or something like that...
Originally posted by mikelomActually they (the slugs, not the RHP members) drown rather than drinking themselves to death. Apparently it works with non-alcoholic beverages, too, as long as the smell attracts them.
