why do i feel like puking after just one or two drinks of alcohol?

Question

i drink only a little bit of alcohol and i get sick why is that? i feel fine as soon as i puke and if i am able to keep it in i don't get any allergic reactions like rash or feeling sick in the morning or the days following it? am i just not drinking enough water or am i missing something in my diet? i just do not understand it i am not allergic to anything else and its just discouraging and any help would be wonderful, thanks for your time

Answer 1

The truth is, not everyone can tolerate alcohol. It could be that you are allergic to alcohol. It is also possible that your stomach lining is very sensitive to the toxicity of alcohol. It would be best to stick with "virgin" drinks since your body obviously does not tolerate alcohol. Or, if you are ordering mixed drinks, see if they can use only half the alcohol - making the drink less potent. Cutting back on the amount of alcohol might make it possible for you to drink if you still limit yourself to one or two drinks.

Drinking water has nothing to do with it since you aren't going to suffer dehydration from one or two alcoholic beverages.

Another thing that you might try, if you are determined to drink, is to eat something greasy before drinking. The grease may coat your stomach enough to prevent you from vomiting. Keep in mind that greasy foods and alcohol are both high in calories so you might want to watch your consumption of both if you see your weight starts to increase. I'm sorry to say that if you still can't drink after eating greasy foods, you will either have to tolerate being sick or give up on alcohol.
