Hmmm... so, drinking makes you sick to the point of puking.  Therefore, does it not make sense to lay off the alcohol for a while and see if you do any better?  If you have no improvement in symptoms, don't go back to drinking, but DO go see a doctor.

If you're vomiting blood you should go see your doctor.  And, I would definitely stay off alcohol until you find out what this is all about.

We all know alcohol isn't good for us and I dont want to sound ugly but if your having stomach discomfort after drinking, why add more fuel to the fire?? I believe this is a self correcting problem. Assuming you have been binge drinking 3 times a week since you turned 21, it sounds like you may have a problem with alcoholism. Alochol is basically poison, so your body is not going to react well to frequently large amounts over an extended period of time. If it can destroy your liver, it can eat away the lining of your stomach also. Which it sounds like you are doing. You may want to stop all together before you develop more serious gastrointestinal problems or liver disease.

Gotta love the alcohol industry. 3 threads in a week of people asking why the alcohol they drink is causing stomach problems. Alcohol is a poison man, that's why you get drunk. Eat some rat poison and see what happens. No, don't really, I was kidding.

Had the same experience after drinking last Friday.

I do go out for beers and an occasional jack/rum and coke.  Most of the time nothing crazy happens.

Friday night was just horrible.  Just like the original poster in this thread.  Made me want to swear off drinking.  Since I've sometimes had more than last Friday and nothing bad happened, I think maybe I got some bad (for me) beer.
I really didn't stray from my usual drinking "style".

Honestly though, right now I'm really thinking I'm not going to drink ever again except with food.  An ale with my burger and leave it at that.  On occassion.

I really have no great desire for the hard stuff except for maybe once or twice a month just to get off the beer thing.

I'm sort of a reverse drinker and remember feeling much healthier in my younger years when I was basically a tea-totaler (no alohol).  I'm not old but I am older and I've been binging with my pals on occassion but after Friday...time to reverse the curse!

Has anyone else noticed it's almost impossible to find the nutrition facts or ingredients to any alcoholic beverage? I was drinking a Kahlua the other day and nothing was listed on the bottle, box, or website. I googled it and came up with one site that says they are just guessing for the sake of a guideline, and they don't guarantee they are right. But they don't have ingredients listed. No one does. Isn't that illegal? Don't I have the right to know what I'm putting in my body without having to write a letter to the manufacturer?
