Feel sick after drinking and other silly stuff

[Anonymous]

I'm just wondering what might be going on. I don't drink very often, I'm only 20. However, since around Christmas of 2011, almost every time I drink, I feel sick. I never used to before. Sometimes I don't throw up, but this past Saturday night, I got sick. I only had two Smirnoff ice coolers and then in a span of about 1.5-2 hours I had one double (at a social, so pre poured) and two single vodkas, I mixed them with Cola. I get home and I throw up, WHY?

I'm so embarrassed, my parents have seen me throw up twice now. I used to drink more than that and faster and feel fine. I'm so upset about this. no one saw me, just my parents, but still. I'm kind of depressed about it all ha ha. this isn't the first time getting sick for me either.

And I worry about another thing. at the social, some guys my brother knew were there too. I kind of knew them, I danced with the one guy. But I don't remember what was said when they're like "We're leaving now." I said something, because then they said "No you stay here with the single guys". I'm so worried I said something bad. I don't think so, maybe it was just oh I'll come too. I don't know though, and i"m freaking out now

What a mess of a weekend. I'm trying to get over it, but it sucks. I hope they don't remember it, but they probably do.

It could be just your alcohol tolerance, especially if you don't drink often or for a while.

I'm 20 and this past year in college there was rarely a weekend of drinking at some point and I was used to doing consistent whisky shots with my friends and sometimes going overboard but my tolerance level was higher than when I first started drinking ever. This entire summer I've only had two oppurtunities to drink and both times my stomach just couldn't handle it and the second time was only one beer and half a pepsi/ rye mix.

So I definitely think its just your tolerance, you could be a lightweight

I am forsure a light weight. I'm glad I am, but what's so weird is how I am now. I mean, before I could drink 3 or 4 coolers and feel tipsy but not sick, it's just the last few months I've been different. I never get hangovers, but this past weekend I didn't feel like I usually do after drinking. It's just weird.

This is your bodies way of communicating with you. Liquor is poison in all sense and purposes. We have to realize that when we are drinking we are quite literally in taking toxin. So, remember to take it easy. Also you might want to see a doctor if it's happening EVERY single time after just a little bit of drinking. You probably should stop for awhile though. Or maybe if you stopped drinking for a long period of time your body is not use to it anymore. There are many options just remember, like I said, take it easy.

Oh I know it's a drug, but it's not like I do it every weekend. Before this past weekend, last time I drank was July 21st. Lately, I just feel normal or slightly upset, and sometimes throw up.

But if I go to a doctor, they'll probably just tell me to stop drinking.

I get VERY VERY sick after drinking liquor. I'm not a fan. I get the wobbles and sure enough I have to puke. Some of us can drink the stuff like water, while others can't stand it. I think it's a good thing to cut back drinking, your liver will thank you.

Whatever happened, I bet they all understand it was a drunk night of yours and didn't take you seriously.

[Asker]

Ah that sucks. It's just the last few months, I haven't been the same for drinking. And I didn't mix my drinks with other alcohol, it was all vodka.

I hope they don't remember it, I wasn't trying to hit on them, I just thought they were nice and hoping single, but wasn't trying to pick up.

You could have a viral infection that acts up if you drink alcohol. Go see a physician.

Maybe you have an alcohol intollerance? Also, as you don't drink regularly the lining of your stomach won't be used to dealing with alcohol so therefore it gets a bit upset whenever you do drink. Don't worry about what you said to the guys, I'm sure it was nothing too bad if you did say something, else you would have heard about it already.

[Asker]

But that's the weird thing, it's only been the last few months my stomach bothering me with drinking. Never happened before.

I sure hope it wasn't anything bad.

Any changes in your diet?

[Asker]

No, nothing. Been the same for a while. The first time I felt like throwing up (it's a long story), but I found out a bunch of lies from this a**hole and met his new girlfriend, but I was so worked up about it all that I blamed feeling sick on the stress. But since that day, I've just felt not the same when drinking. I doubt there's a connection, I don't think about him.

[ambertaylor]

That is odd, maybe not a bad thing though, might put you off boozing for a bit haha!

[Asker]

Maybe, it's just a don't drink that often.
