Two nights ago we went out to a bar with some friends, and I drank WAY WAY WAY too much. I don't remember much except going to the bathroom, then waking up to my mom shoving her fingers down my throat forcing me to vomit up the excess alcohol, then i must have blacked out again because I woke up naked in the bathtub at my home with no recollection of how I got there and also found out upon going to the restroom that I had a black eye and lots of bruises on my body. My head still hurts really really bad, not just my eye but my entire head is throbbing and I still feel nauseous...Could I have a concussion or am I still feeling the effects of the alcohol or what? Don't get on to me too bad, cuz I have sworn off alcohol, I am never ever drinking again and I truly mean it. It's stupid, and childish and expensive. I just want to feel normal again.

The first (and ONLY) time I've ever gotten drunk beyond recognition I was drunk for two days and had a three day hangover. Because of my small size and the amount of alcohol I drank, in hindsight I consider myself lucky. I actually had alcohol poisoning. Since you survived this long without medical treatment, you should be fine. You just need to wait until your body rids itself of the alcohol. Eat light meals and avoid too much medication. Tylenol is about the only thing you should take; ibuprofin or Aleve is aspirin-based and will affect your already upset stomach. Drink plenty of water to flush out the alcohol as well (although there is a myth that water will reactivate the alcohol). You need to get rid of it, period.
As far as your bruises and black eye, apparantly you broke the number one rule of drinking; always have a "babysitter" that you trust and can drive you home safely. Unless you were out with friends that can tell you what happened, you'll just have to wonder.
But to answer your question, I would say you have alcohol poisoning rather than a concussion. But if you have a sore spot or goose-egg on your head, or if it's a really bad black eye (ie swollen shut) go to the doctor to investigate. Other than that, the pain is from your brain cells being killed off by the alcohol. Good Luck and I hope you learned the lesson I did.
Blessings

You should go to your GP, if you have bruises you could have had a fight with someone and could be badly injured. Your head probably just hurts because of the excess alcohol, a typical hangover. I would advise never to get so drunk that you're out of control or can't remember what has happened though, you could end up doing something you regret and when you're drunk you can become vulnerable to attacks. Plus I've stayed sober and it's so much more fun watching people making complete idiots of themselves and waking up in the morning with a completely clear head, and you can update your mates on how they behaving the night before whilst having a laugh about it! â»

You'd better ask someone what happened and I don't men the people here. We weren't with you when you were drinking, how would we know. You could have been in a car accident, fell down some stairs, got in a fight, who knows? Nobody drinks and gets a black eye and bruises for no reason. how about asking somebody THERE first before coming here?

Welcome to the world of alcohol - you have a hangover - congratulations! It will probably be 2 more days before you can feel normal - drink LOTS of water to wash the poisons out of your system.
I hope you really mean it when you swore off drinking - I do not preach, it is just that if you do not stop at a limit and just keep going next time you could be dead.

If you have a black eye you more than likely do have a concussion. A concussion is a blow to the head in which the brain has been brusied.They range fron mild to sever. I wouldn't fool around...get it checked out now.

This has to be a question or an answer--So here's the
answer: If you do this again, you will probably die-- Yes,
somebody probably beat the crap out of you and yes you
probably have a concussion. and yes, you may have blood
clots in your brain...and yes, if you don't get it dissolved
you will probably die in a couple of days.
