So I’ve been drinking and it becomes like I drink water and I puke right away. So it’s like what’s the point of puking if I can’t get rid of all the toxicant in one go. I end up just puking whatever I put in. I assume puking is good but yeah I don’t get the point if it can’t be just a one time thing.

Poisoning. You have alcohol poisoning.

Correct. And the body will continue attempting to throw up so long as it continues experiencing the symptoms of being poisoned. It has nothing to do about an empty stomach, if it still thinks the body has ingested something, it will keep purging.

This is the whole premise of motion and sea sickness, the body thinking it’s poisoned. In the case of alcohol, it actually is.
