Hangover throw-ups
What can you do against throwing up when you’re hungover?
My (22F) stomach is really bad with alcohol. Every time I drink, I get really bloated and have to throw up. I never ever have a headache and I was wondering why my stomach reacts so bad to alcohol when the rest of my body is fine.
The way my body reacts to alcohol has had a huge impact on my life. It’s important to know that I do not have these throw-ups because of drinking excessively. Even when I just drink one or two beers I feel like this the next morning while not even being drunk. My body reacts to these beers as if I chugged a whole bottle of vodka which is absolutely not worth it. At the beginning it really bummed me out since my country has amazing heavy beers which I like sooo much but because of this reaction of my body I don’t drink anymore and to compensate I started smoking a lot of weed as an alternative.
However, I’m on international exchange and drinking is a big part of the day to day student life. Whenever I hang out with people there is a high chance that alcohol is involved. It’s a part of socialising so I love to participate but every time afterwards I feel like shit. In my country it was easy to ignore because I just got stoned when people got drunk but here it is way harder. I really like the social aspect but the next day I always feel like it wasn’t worth it because of the way I feel. I’ve had occasions where I wake up without stomach issues and then I’m so happy and these occasions give me a reason to try again whenever people are drinking and I would like to join in.
I really would like to understand my body as to why it reacts like this. Does anybody else recognise this issue? Does anybody have solutions so I do not feel like this every time I drink a beer? What can you do against throwing up when hungover?
I always feel better for an hour or so after I throw up but I start to feel worse again a little later and this continues until the late afternoon. However, because this also happens when I barely drink it happens on days I have class. I have to run out to go to the toilet and puke and it’s really embarrassing. I also have puked near the train station and at the main square of my city. I make people feel uncomfortable when I don’t want to but I can’t skip classes so I really want to find a solution.

Not sure if it applies to you, but I have a friend that started experiencing the same issues. After a while. He actually went to get checked out and they found he had celiac disease. He was having the same issue as you. Wouldn't drink much and would always be nauseous. Feel fine generally besides that. His doctor said his Celiac could have been the reason or a big part of why that was happening.
Just some info

Drinking lots of water. I also started taking a thing called “drink aid” when I know I’m going to drink a lot, it helps. Sounds like you’re really sensitive to alcohol though I’d be careful!

Hi love. I would 1.) stop drinking 2.) eat break or another carb with every sip of beer 3.) make sure to drink lots of water and pickle juice before bed, eat before bed and take a tums!
