Weird thread, but I am asking for opinions from the drinker members of the TIBB community

Now, when I got home from my New Years Party, I threw up. However, that was not all. From about 8 to 11.30 I drifted in and out of consciousness and spewed six times. I then got up, tried very slow to have some breakfast and then threw up again. I threw up again at 3.30.

This was undoubtedly the worse hangover I've ever had, but am I just bad at handling my drink or did I drink too much?... I had about 4/5 glasses of champagne, 3 beers, a vodka + irn bru, a shot of peach schnapps and two vodka shots...

So what do yall think?

Not the answer I was looking for

Hmm, interesting. You didn't exactly have tons to drink but you did have a considerable amount. Probably not enough to make you sick so much, mind you (well obviously it was but anyway).

Maybe it was what you had to drink. Like have you had any of that stuff before? Maybe your stomach just didn't agree with it. Or, it might depend on how long you have been 'binge' drinking for, like if you have only recently started since you began uni then it might just be that you're not used to it and haven't found your limit yet idk.

[Babayaro.]

But yeah, spewing eight times sounds like hell.

[Withano]

Tbh, im not sure if that sounds alcohol related. Did you get dodgy fast food?

Far too much AND you mixed them, which never ends well.

[Cherie]

The mix of drinks, no wonder you spewed

Its only 12-16 units though, that wouldnt make me drunk or hungover.

[Babayaro.]

Is vodka & irn bru any good? Never tried it.

[Cherie]

And a whole weeks worth of units in one night your liver

[thesheriff443]

Being sick is a sign that you poisoned yourself. It's not big or clever to drink more than your body can handle.

Totally depends on the circumstances of the day I think and each person can handle different amounts too. If you haven't eaten alot etc etc

All true. But if he ate little, I wouldnt have thought hed be physically able to throw up that many times. It just sounds more food-related than drink-related to me. Potentially an unrelated virus or bacterial bug.

No, the drinking part lol

If you can't go out and have good time without getting completlynwasted I feel sorry for those that do and the police and hospital staff that have to deal with the results of drinking too much.

Did you eat before drinking? I get really ill off just a few pints if I drink on a empty stomach

But he drank a fair bit so there would be all that in his system

Also I may be a lightweight, but what you put in your OP, I would be pretty legless, especially with mixing. I can drink near a full litre of malibu, but if I drink anything else, I am gone. Especially if I mix.

If you're a newbie or haven't had a drink for a while, it could just be the alcohol. If you usually drink like that and are fine then it could be EITHER that your stomach was already a bit off and not up to the task, or - as suggested by Withano - if you had anything to eat after you might be suffering from dodgy kebab syndrome. Many a bad hangover can be put down more to mild food poisoning from a bad snack on the way home. Urgh.

Also if you smoked a cigarette (and don't usually smoke) your hangover will be worse.

And finally, the advice about mixing is correct. Pick a lane and stay in it. Your options are beer, wine/cider, or spirits. Choose one! Your hangovers will be ten times worse if you don't. Also, drinking beer AFTER wine or spirits is never a good idea.

"Liquor after beer, never fear
Beer after liquor, never sicker"

Alternatively,

"Wine then beer, feel the fear
Beer then wine, you'll be fine."


Remember these important life lessons...


But best is just don't mix at all. I learned that far too late in life. I only drink Jack Daniels now and I can get absolutely hammered and barely feel it the next day, even though I almost never drink these days.
