If you were extremely drunk but made yourself throw up and drink lots of water would that help you sober up quickly?

If the alcohol has already been absorbed throwing up will do nothing. If alcohol is still in your stomach or intestines, you will only lose that alcohol, but not what you drank before that.

Since you said you were already drunk, throwing up will not change that. It will only keep you from getting more drunk on whatever hasn't been absorbed.

It also depends on how much you've eaten and what type of food. Food in the stomach slows down the absorption of alcohol a LOT. Fatty food in the stomach can slow the absorption by half.

Do you think its possible to get diarrhea and vomiting 2 days after drinking? On 1st and 2nd January I was fine, eating meals no nausea etc.
Since Yesterday evening (3rd) I have full blown diarrhea and vomiting

The effects of drinking can last a couple of days sometimes. But if you didn't have any effects for the first day or two, then suddenly they started, that doesn't sound like it's from drinking.

Drinking can mess up your digestive system. It can take a while to get back to normal. But it just seems like you'd feel bad the very next day. Bottom line is that I don't know for sure, but it just doesn't seem likely to me.

No, it won't. Intoxication is a result of alcohol in the bloodstream, not alcohol in the stomach. There's no cure except the time needed for the liver to metabolize the alcohol to reduce the blood alcohol content.

The best thing to do? Drink less. If all your friends are raging alcoholics, make new friends.

But what if I threw up

[slatyb]

Then you will be a drunk standing over a puddle of vomit.

Anyway you should see a doctor.

Getting flu from weakened immune system via alcohol? WebMd might have detail relating to your concern?

No the only thing that sobers you up once alcohol is in the blood stream is time. As your liver has to metabolize the alcohol.

Adrenaline usually works the fastest.
