If you go out and get really, really wasted some night, and feel like crap, is it better to make yourself puke, or to just feel terrible all night? Please only respond if you have medical experience.
Is it any easier on your body if you puke after drinking rather than keeping it down?
(I'm not asking about hangovers or "feeling better," but rather if it's any better for your body. To put it another way...is it more harmful for your body to try to not puke after a night of heavy drinking?)

no medical knowledge but puking often if you drink regulary leads to stomach ulcers tearing of your stomach wall ort asophagus and can give you some seriosu problems. drinking too much alcohol also has problems. Weigh them against each other.

The reason people lose their martinis is because the body recognized that it's being poisoned.. (thus the word intoxicated - toxic)
If you have severe alcohol poisoning and have not puked, you will likely die. I unfortunately had this experience , and the ER tried to get me to swallow activated charcoal but I was so out that they pumped my stomach instead...then gave me the charcoal.
I know someone (with a problem) who used to puke on purpose after drinking, and the stomach acid and the alcohol burned ulcers in the esophagus.
So...better not to drink that much in the first place.

You are obviously young and don't know how to drink. I'm an R.N. When you drink, drink one glass of water for every one drink. One drink = 2 oz of liquor. This will keep you hydrated. ( You may have noticed that you have to pee more when you are drinking) The hang-over is caused by dehydration. If you have drank so much in such a short period that you feel like throwing up, by all means do it. You could be in alcohol poisoning. These symptoms also indicate that you may be developing a big problem with alcohol. If there are any alcoholics in your family you will be more susceptible to becoming an alcoholic yourself.

If this is regular thing for you, the acid that comes up with vomit can eat away at your esphogus. But, if it's an occasional thing, it will help reduce the amount of alcohol that would get asborbed by your bloodstream potentially saving you from alcohol poisoning or a really nasty hangover. But, if you are drinking enough to make yourself sick, maybe you should reconsider how much you drink.

If you really feel like throwing up dont fight it and let it happen. This isnt neccessarily a great idea but you will feel somewhat better. Rinse out your mouth though cause otherwise the acids coming up will burn your teeth and mouth. Drink alot of water and its probably good to eat some too. Try to sleep as much as possible. Eatting hot soup definitely helps.

I don't have a medical degree of any kind. . .but I believe all health professionals would agree that it's better not to drink in the first place. If you can't do that, limit yourself to one glass of red wine, which contains antioxidants and less alcohol than some hard liquors.

nope
keeping it down and letting your body do its job is the best
if your worried about the effects of the alcohol on your body think of another substance to use theres tons of drugs out there that are alot safier and better on your body then alcohol but im not saying go do drugs im talking about health wise!

I believe that it would be better if you puke before going to bed.
But it would be better if you learn to stop drinking before getting in to that scenario.
