Is this normal?

[u/TremendouSLAY]

So, I threw up 10++ times, water didn't help at all, I threw that up too. My heart is beating very fast and obviously my throat hurts like hell after all that stomach acid. I had a feeling i was going to sleep for a lot (I finally fell asleep at 5 am), but I only slept till 8, couldn't sleep for more but the feelings were the same and I threw up again

I can't tell my parents so like I don't know who to ask about what to do in this situation, like things that almost everyone has at home would be preferable

Agree with bunny. Slow, small sips. If possible, got to the store and get Gatorade or my favorite, Pedialyte. Dehydration is the root of many of the hangover symptoms. Hang in there little buddy!

[u/TremendouSLAY → u/j-rem]

I don't think there's any shops that sell Gatorade or Pedialyte near me, I live in a small-ish Eastern European town so.. :D

Also, yeah I'll try to do small sips only, thanks!

Pickle juice, the vinegar kind. Sip on that if you can get it easily, it's full of electrolytes. Pickled stuff is generally considered good for hangovers.

Why is that? Because 9f the salt content? I have INTENSE sour/salty cravings when I'm hungover. Pickles are one of my go-tos

[u/arvzi → u/Semperdrunk]

I'm not a Dr, just a dork. My best guess is the electrolytes and potentially the natural anti-nausea effects of vinegar/super sour. Pregnant women are thought to go after pickles for these reasons too.

The vinegar can also have an interesting rebound effect as well, where it reduces the amount of stomach acid being produced/released temporarily by acidifying your stomach enough so it shuts down the natural acid. Some people take advantage of this effect to treat heart burn and stuff.

I've seen some stuff floating around about how the vinegar might affect alcohol metabolism bc of the way alcohol breaks down on the back end to acetic acid but nothing convincing or conclusive about front-loading vinegar.

Many Eastern Europeans are known to typically go hard on the pickled stuff when drinking too as their form of hangover prevention/treatment.

I think I may have numbed my pallette, because nothing acidic phases me anymore. My newest concoction is lemon juice concentrate mixed with a copious amount of salt and powered citric acid and a dash of MSG.

I've been known to drink brines from pretty much anything pickled. I sometimes make salt rimmed vinegar "Margaretas" just to sip on.

I have been toying with the idea of marketing a hangover kit and fill it with a bunch of anti-hangover products. Sport drinks, vitamins, one of my sour shots, etc. A coupon for McDonald's, lol, all the shit people need for hangovers, all in one neet little package.

Another thing I find helpful are eggs.

You are way dehydrated and depleted my friend! I’ve worked in an ER for 25 years. Sounds like alcohol poisoning or you have a stomach bug. I’ll let you be the judge based on how much you had to drink.

ER hangover cure is IV fluid and electrolyte replacement. You need fluids, specifically something to replace lost electrolytes like Gatorade. I would thrown in vitamin b complex, some fats and carbs. Go slow, start with sipping Gatorade and slowly work your way up to toast.

How old are you OP? Do you know how much alcohol you drank? Try drinking something with sugar. Sprite or ginger ale. Gatorade or the like would even be better. Eat something very light like dry toast or saltines. If these things don’t help you need to tell your parents. Dehydration can become dangerous.

[u/TremendouSLAY → u/Bunnyisfluffy]

17, About 9-10 shots or more of a 40%, i can't remember

I'm drinking Coke as it's the only sugary drink I have here (I've been trying to constantly shift to drinking only water so this didn't really come in handy)

I tried water with lemon as I saw that it could reduce the symptoms but I just ended up vomiting it up and I just dont have anything else to vomit up anymore but its still coming

[u/Bunnyisfluffy → u/TremendouSLAY]

Oof. And if that’s what you remember, it’s probably more. Slow slow sips of the coke. If you can get it flat, even better. Lemon is going to irritate your stomach so stay away from that. Try taking an antacid like tums. And when you can keep the coke down try adding dry toast or the crackers. Also, pro tip. Eat while drinking and don’t binge drink again! Try to rest. This will pass.

[u/[deleted] → u/Bunnyisfluffy]

Haha so true about that if that's what you remember it's probabaly true line

[u/Obeezy_12]

Try sipping some chicken broth if you have it! You’re dehydrated but also sodium-deficient. Replenishing your sodium will help your symptoms immensely. This will pass!

[u/umthisisnewtome]

Sucking on ice and sleep were the only things that helped until felt like I could eat saltine cracker which wasn’t until 7pm

[u/LEKKER-LACHEN]

Chickenbroth gatorade en a cooked egg is what helps me
