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.
Take a bag, fill it with water, and grip it loosely at the top so all your fingers wrap around like a loose fist.
Now, without turning the bag, use your other hand to empty it by squeezing out the water.
You get most of it out, but there’s still some in there, even if you squeeze violently and it seems like nothing else can come out.
Also, for most of human history, if you’ve poisoned yourself ingesting something, chances are the next thing you’re ingesting is still poisoned. It’s only recently we’ve worked out distilled poison and purified water. So, biologically speaking, better to just be sick for a day so you can get to a different water/food source.
Vomiting can be a symptom of dehydration. You couple the body’s toxin response from the booze with the dehydration caused by the booze, and this can lead to vomiting. In fact, most classic hangover symptoms are dehydration symptoms.
The first place your body starts to absorb alcohol is through your mouth, especially under your tongue. You, of course, absorb alcohol through your stomach as well. The highest rate of alcohol absorption happens in the small intestines, however. This is why your blood alcohol level continues to go up well after your last drink.
Our bodies can process, on average, one serving of alcohol per hour. The serving size depends on the alcohol by volume of the specific drink, the person’s biological sex, and the person’s weight. If you drink more than your body can process, it begins to build up in your blood stream and cause intoxication. Once it is in your blood stream you are at your body’s mercy to process it. There is no real, effective trick to “sober up”. Tactics may make you feel more alert, but your BAC won’t change. Food won’t help, coffee won’t help, and slamming water won’t help speed this process up.
Basically, unless you’ve chugged a bunch of alcohol in a very short amount of time, vomiting won’t save you. By the time you feel nauseous, the damage is already done. Your body has absorbed and is processing the alcohol you already drank.
I have an interesting question regarding this. I drink occasionally but not to the point where I’m shitfaced, usually not feeling very drunk or not drunk at all and yet I still throw up.
I throw up multiple times a couple of times in a row and I have no idea why this happens. I wouldn’t believe it’s alcohol poisoning since it has happened at as low as 3 beers (regular strength, not any ridiculous IPA type beers).
I’m curious if any more educated people have any idea what this can be about. I’ve been trying to figure this shit out for years but have just mostly given up on drinking instead.
Maybe it’s some kinda allergic reaction. I know some people will get migraine like symptoms with red wines. Something to do with the tannins (compounds that give the ‘dryness’ effect in wines).
Are these craft brews or domestic stuff like Coors/bud?
Could be, I drank more beer before, recently it’s mostly been ciders. I rarely drink wine though, I’d rather have more beers/ciders that I enjoy the taste of than drink to feel intoxicated. Occasionally I drink a glass of whiskey or two on the weekends and that’s usually not an issue.
Are you able to burp?
Do you feel full/bloated after drinking a few beers?
Burping is no issues.
And I’ve never really noticed being bloated when drinking. But that’s nothing I’ve really thought about either, I’ll pay attention to it next time but nothing I noticed the other day at least.
Then your situation is different to mine.
A lot of us are unable to burp at all, and that’s the cause for throwing up with just a few beers. Too much gas and no way to let it out makes you explode.
You can puke if your stomach is full
