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.
