"When a person drinks alcohol, the alcohol is absorbed by the stomach, enters the bloodstream, and goes to all the tissues. The effects of alcohol are dependent on a variety of factors, including a person's size, weight, age, and sex, as well as the amount of food and alcohol consumed. The disinhibiting effect of alcohol is one of the main reasons it is used in so many social situations. Other effects of moderate alcohol intake include dizziness and talkativeness; the immediate effects of a larger amount of alcohol include slurred speech, disturbed sleep, nausea, and vomiting. Alcohol, even at low doses, significantly impairs the judgment and coordination required to drive a car safely. Low to moderate doses of alcohol can also increase the incidence of a variety of aggressive acts, including domestic violence and child abuse. Hangovers are another possible effect after large amounts of alcohol are consumed; a hangover consists of headache, nausea, thirst, dizziness, and fatigue."
Basically, if a person has had more drinks than their body can handle (based on age, sex, size, and weight), the body expels the alcohol the quickest way it knows how.

beacuase if you don't throw up you will get alcohol poisoning. thats why passing out is so bad! if you overdrank you limits, you are sound asleep for your body to get rid of excess alcohol.
don't drink so much till you puke, but your body will know when its too much (sometimes too late, cuzz you probably already have taken another drink)

It is your body's way of getting rid of something that is a poison to it. It is a way of saving your dumb ass. When you drink too much, you body is drunken and in sort of a coma and can't protect you and then you die. What a stupid way of dying!!!!
