Re: I think i found a way to defeat vomiting
A lot of the whole vomiting thing is due to either dangerously high levels of alcohol in your blood, so your brainstem is trying to keep you alive, or dizziness from nystagmus vs inner ear vestibular system feedback (essentially "sea sickness" -- also possible from FPS games where the eyes note directional changes out of sync with head movement); the rest is good old fashioned gastrointestinal distress (mint may ease the latter through some druidical property of which I am aware of but ignorant as to the underlying mechanism -- probably acts as a neutralizing base to churning stomach acids).givemesomepils wrote:I don't know how it is in your case when you vomit, but for me it is usually just after a drink. so for me i think it makes a difference.
I have even vomited what I would guess was only beer with a small amount of stomach acid once just after finishing a couple of 40 oz's.
Someone gave me a tip, chewing peppermint gum when you feel you are about to vomit helps. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm going to try and remember the next time.
For the others, only training your liver to metabolize the alcohol more expeditiously (a well trained toper can metabolize booze up to 4x faster than a novice --you must drink through the weakness of your liver to achieve this -- warning, may kill you via cirrhosis or even hepatitis eventually...), or slowing down (or puking) will help (and in the case of imminent alcohol poisoning, better to hurl).
There's an active ingredient in milk thistle (speaking of druidism), the name of which escapes me, but copious doses of that make for a good, and empirically demonstrated, liver tonic.
In short, the best tip is: Know your limitations, train your liver slowly but surely, avoid drinking swill that tastes like shit, and if all else fails, excuse yourself to a bathroom, hurl as quietly as possible. rinse with mouthwash, re-hydrate with water (coconut water or gator aide is good for this), pop a vitamin B and some calcium (the synthesis/absorption, respectively, is disrupted by booze, which can make you feel wobbly), pop an aspirin (you already tripped over something), towel off (the alcohol you secrete through your skin prevents absorption of oxygen, further making you feel ill), and have another drink.
If you can't handle it, call it a night. fight the good fight another day.
Another pro-tip: Running amok (e.g., slam dancing at a punk rock show) plus having some water now and again will help you metabolize the booze faster than sitting still to pickle in your poison juices. Running amok + water = hangover free :D
Again, just puke and continue if able. Why put on a tough face just to vomit all over yourself in your sleep (this was the downfall of Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, and many, many other hard partiers...)
Now, if it's a drinking contest, unless money is at stake, everyone just happily drinks until they hit their limit, so everyone wins, right? Puking/passing out (and hopefully coming to later) would be the limit...
Now if just a few beers is making you puke, either its shit beer, you are allergic to something in the beer (try my good friend Mr. Vodka!), you have something in you that just doesn't mix well with the beer, or, you need to gradually build up your stamina (go wath Broken Lizard's Beerfest! :-D )
The goal of drinking is not to show your strength -- that's for kids with something to prove. The goal of drinking to either subdue or let loose the inner demons and muses and to open the gateless barrier of Mumon seki (or pass out trying).
I have vomited up Rumlplemintz -- 100 proof peppermint schnapps, so perhaps an exception?Thirsticus wrote:It is impossible to vomit or cry when you have peppermint in your mouth.

Why wouldn't you be able to cry?
Is this like the sneezing while farting question famously posed by George Carlin?

Re: I think i found a way to defeat vomiting
I don't pass out without pills so don't worry about that. also why train your liver, having a high tolerance to liquor is something I hate, I can't afford to get drunk anymore. So now i just drink from when i wake up to when I sleep at about the pace of 1 to 2 drinks an hour and i just have a calm feeling through out the day. if i try to get drunk all my liquor will be gone in 2 hours. anyway good points, besides the training your liver thing.Jordo! wrote:If you can't handle it, call it a night. fight the good fight another day.

Re: I think i found a way to defeat vomiting
That's a very fair point. It's nice to take some time off to let your tolerance get lower -- a powerful liver means a bigger booze budget.givemesomepils wrote:I don't pass out without pills so don't worry about that. also why train your liver, having a high tolerance to liquor is something I hate, I can't afford to get drunk anymore.

Well, one other thing to try is promethazine if you can get it (anticholinergic, anti-emetic); OTC doxylamine succinate (aka unisom) also has anti-emetic effects.
Still, I just prefer barfing to feeling queasy...

Re: I think i found a way to defeat vomiting
Well, if you find you suffer from sea- or air-sickness or other ailments that frequently provoke nausea, you would have a very legitimate reason to consult a physician and inquire about the potential value of promethazine...

Re: I think i found a way to defeat vomiting
I wish I could have not boked last friday, I was confined to the tent. And I thought I was well behaved on vodka sambucas. Apparently I'm not allowed to have fun. At least I did it properly, I put my hands up, then saw sense, dropped them and threw up, back arrow straight, over a table of revellers. I extended my deepest apologies and went for a cigarette. They didn't seem bothered. I love england

Re: I think i found a way to defeat vomiting
When I start feeling like I'm gonna puke, I drink lots of water. That usually suppresses it.

Hey, you have to keep it down like a man. If it doesn't go through the liver and kidneys, then you are abusing alcohol.
Never abuse alcohol! Drink it all, and get tight and high as a kite

Re: I think i found a way to defeat vomiting
The only times I have ever vomited occurred after drinking a shit ton and then being in a car. I have puked out the window while going 70 mph on the highway 3 times that I can remember, yet I more often consume a bottle of whiskey and fall asleep while reading.

Re: I think i found a way to defeat vomiting
I think i reached my personal record of distance vomiting. It was like 3,5 meters of projectile vomit. It was fun!
