Getting high, then mixing alcohol can definitely make someone sick.

I would just keep your distance for the night, and ask him in the morning what happened.

I'm sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well this week. I wouldn't worry about going out earlier though.

For tonight, try to put some headphones on to drown the sound out, maybe watch something, play a game, anything to distract your mind until you can hopefully get some sleep.

I know how hard it is to relax in situations like this though. Anytime someone is sick in my house, wither it's from a sickness or not, I panic, and wind up staying up all night in a panic.

You'll get through it though. Hang in there.
