What made me throw up?

Question

I am a fairly new drinker, so I was wondering if anyone could help me on what is your best guess on what made me throw up. Drinks are in order.

1. A Lager mixed with a red bull
2. A Coors light
3. Shot of tequila
4. Shot of tequila
5. Vodka and Cranberry Juice
6. Whiskey and Cranberry Juice
7. Mikes Hard Lemonade
8. Coors Light
9. Mikes Hard Lemonade

(Throw up)

Answer 1

First of all, good to start with the energy drink... The mixed drinks and shots are fine, but try to stick to 2-3 different ones max (vodka-cran, whiskey-cran and ex: vodka-orange).
2 main problems arise in your drinking order. 1) Never ever drink stuff like Mikes Hard Lemonade or any other type of pre-mixed bottled drink (even Smirnoff Ice) if you plan on drinking other types of booze in the night. Those drinks (Mikes) are best drank alone because they don't have the same type of hard alcohol in them as a normal mixed drink made by a bartender. Also, the amount of sugar in them is enough to get you sick on it's own.
2) That Coors Light at #8 was too much... you had started a pattern of hard liquor and decided to move on to a beer (sometimes it's not a problem), but then you topped it off with Mikes Hard Crap, which was the cherry on top of the sunday.

My advice to you, if you plan on drinking alot, try not to mix too much, but if you feel your gut is good, try to avoid mixing beer/Mikes and liquor.

Theres a little song that goes:
Liquor and Beer, have no fear
Beer and liquor, never been sicker

Answer 2

It is a myth that mixing causes the problem! what made you throw up was:
1) Total amount of alcohol;
2) Congeners--impurities in the alcohol. Vodka is relatively low in these, red wine fairly high;
3) Mixing of acids--this can get even worse if you also down some creamy drinks and they essentially curdle in your stomach.

You had nine drinks and you are a new drinker. if you had had nine of any of those drinks you might have thrown up.

Slow down.

Answer 3

Dude, you are lucky you didn't die of alchohol poisoning. Slow down! What are you trying to prove?

First, don't mix your drinks. Either beer OR wine OR liquor, but only one class of booze at a time.

Secondly, practice getting and maintaining a nice little buzz rather than shoveling all possible forms of brain-killing poison down your throat. Limit yourself to two or three drinks at a session and then STOP (or switch to water, soda, juice, or coffee). If you can't, you have no business drinking at all.

You'll kill yourself if you can't discipline yourself. This is the biggest reason there's an age limit to drinking. Getting drunk is not cool, it's childish and crude. Not to mention stupid.

Finally, be sure to eat something with fat and protein beforehand, and drink at least two glasses of water afterwards before bed.

Answer 4

I think 9 drinks made you throw up. Good thing your stomach has some sense.

BTW Stop mixing all those drinks and stay away from red bull when drinking alcohol, it will make you a very wide awake drunk.

Answer 5

Dude, stick with one thing. It is a whole lot easier to deal with exactly how much your are drinking that way. And as much as I used to drink, if I did that in a couple of hours on my best day for tolerance, I probably would have thrown up too.

You drank several things there that were high in acid too. That always bothered me. I stayed with ginger ale as a mixer.

Answer 6

#1 rule.... Beer before liquer makes u sicker, liquer before beer have no fear.

#2... dont mix, if your gonna, dont start with beer

#3..... try not to mix ur dark liquer w clear or vise versa

#4.... the lemonade probly did it to be honest... you already drank all that other crap and then follow it up with something thats sour or whatever.... not a good idea.

#5 always follow up a night of good drinkin w a greasy burger or fries, if you cant eat after start out w one, the grease will coat ur throat and stomach so u dont get that acidy burn from the drinks. plus it'll do some sokin up of the booze... good for 3 reasons
1. dont get as drunk as fast
2. if you do puke, at least u have something to puke up instead of dry heave all night long
3. it'll help sober you up after and you wont wake up hung over

Answer 7

Holy freakin undecided as to what you want to drink!! Dayum!! Pick one...or two and stick with it. Beer and one type of liquor for doing shots...maybe two. I usually do Mich Utlra, Southern Comfort and vodka or Jaeger...don't keep switching back and forth!! Golly! You're head must've really hurt that morning!!

Answer 8

Its the mixin, especially all the fruity stuff. The fruity stuff will sneak up on you, its like drinking kool aid. And that's quite a bit to drink also. Stick with one thing and slow down bit, keep the fruity sweet stuff to a minimum.

Answer 9

Who mixes whiskey and cranberry juice? Drunk or not that would have made me throw up!!

Answer 10

I want to throw up just reading all that. If you can't imagine mixing all that together and drinking it you probably shouldn't let it mix in your stomach. Evidently your stomach protested.
