Is my body rejecting alcohol?

Hey CAG's!
I just wanted to make this blog post in order to ask the experts of CAG about a situation i have, about eight months ago, I drank so much alcohol that I got blackout drunk and then had to sleep it off over a day and a half, and I did very much get sever alcohol poisoning, and ever since then, whenever I attempt to consume alcohol, wether it's a beer or straight hard stuff or even a mix of a bit of vodka and a ton of coke, I instantly want to throw up, my body wants absolutely nothing to do with it, including smelling it. So I was wondering if anyone had any type of similar experience, as I don't particularly want to drink again, but I wouldn't mind the occasional beer or such, and at this point I can't even do that, so I was hoping i could get some information about it. Thanks in advance! |

Here's the things I do before drinking. I drink water and eat bread before I drink and I eat while drinking. Thinks like potato chips and bread products absorb the alcohol so you won't feel nearly as sick like you said. Hot wings and cheese fries are some of my favorite things to eat while drinking too (for others its different things of course). Oh and if you aren't used to drinking you should have something less stronger to break you in. Hope this helps

You sure you had alcohol poisoning? There is a difference between being drunk, throwing up, and passing out and actually having alcohol poisoning. A lot of times alcohol poisoning actually slows the breathing of a person to less than 10-15 breaths per minute and sometimes you will take up to 10 seconds or so between breaths, this is a good indicator of that. Also not just throwing up a time or two but almost continuously throwing up, very uncontrollable, as in no chance to make it to a bathroom or anything. It's often "foamy" as well and not much substance behind it.
Either way, I'd say it's just like if you eat something then later get sick for any number of reasons, you remember being sick right after you ate whatever and for several weeks or months or even years if you see that same particular food again you just don't want it. If you can't even drink beer you may be out of the drinking game for awhile as that's about the easiest to consume. Maybe try a Mike's Hard Lemonade or something with a more familiar flavor. There are plenty of other lower alcohol drinks that the alcohol can hardly even be tasted in. Jack Daniel's Downhome Punch is very low in content and almost just tastes like Fruit Punch or Kool-Aid. There is always Boones Farm, about like Kool-Aid as well. Or maybe some Cherry Box Wine, just something to drink so you can feel the effect of the alcohol a bit and your body then realizes you love it. |

I would just roll with it and not drink. My body has become less and less interested in cooperating with me and drinking as time goes on. Now that I'm 29, I notice that my college days are OVER. After a few drinks, I just feel ill. I just kind of push through it and continue to have a few drinks, but if I get drunk now, I typically get sick, or just feel like crap. I don't mind at this point because I'd rather just stay sober and be able to leave a party when I want to, lol.
The smell of certain liquors still make me feel ill, but that's all in your head. Bad memories from past New Years with Soco, Coconut Rum, and a few others means I can't go near them without my stomach churning. I tend to just stick to a beer or two, or some straight liquor, like whiskey. My wallet is happy about this though... |

I'd wager it's all mental.Kind of like when you get sick from eating something and you don't want to eat it again just from the bad experience, your brain is stopping you from drinking.
Sure your body will change and you will be able to handle less and less alcohol, but that would take time and not something that happens overnight. While you could try eating bread or what not like S.E.F. said I've always heard that trick was a myth. Since the body can not properly process alcohol your body will treat it like a toxin/poison and try to expel it any way possible. Eating bread or any other food while drinking is all a mental mind trick, but it doesn't help to have a full stomach while you drink nothing is worse than drinking on an empty stomach. |

Oh my god, you just described the same situation that happened to a friend of mine. For the past 6 months, he can't handle half a beer, or more than a shot before he gets all pussied out! Before the incident, he could drink more than I could (doesn't mean he always did, just had a stronger stomach?) but now he's the weakest person out of all my friends. I don't make fun of him, but others have. I just try to get him to drink sometimes but I don't push him. Tried for many months. The result: He's still not a drinker anymore. So if i had to guess... I'd guess you're never going to be able to drink well again, and I do think it's a mental block (as is with drugs too), but hey I'm not an expert on the insides of someone's body so I don't know for sure. I just know that the "incident" where he blacked out and stuff, my friends swear that I've gone way worse into the blackout than he did so they don't get why he got that way.
The thing that sucks is he went to being a pothead. I don't mind pot, but he's the typical type to smoke everyday now and thinks it helps him somehow. Idk. Useless info. I drink once every week or two weeks depending on the number of people that want to have a good time but I smoke only about once every 4-6 months. I know alcohol is proven to be worse than pot but unless it's in an edible form, I don't like 'smoking' anything. I can, I just don't. Actually... just remembered something. My girlfriend was in the same situation he was before. She had a bad night an swore she hated drinking and that was before she met me. Then when we met, started dating, both turned 21.. I would drink with friends or every now and then want to have a drink to get a buzz but she would get bummed out I wouldnt invite her and the only explanation I had was, "You don't like drinking." so for the past year, me and her kind of had our own private drinking times where she started off slowly, getting over the taste, using a strong chaser, taking it little by little and by 6 months she actually liked drinking again but she'd say she wanted to basically "get on your level!" So after a whole year, she is on my level, we are amazing drinking partners and she doesn't get disgusted by any drinks (from sissy to man drinks), she doesn't make those awful faces most people make when they take shots and she knows how to handle herself well when she's buzzed or drunk and knows when to say no or another one. So in the end I'd say.. Yes you CAN get over your problem, it probably IS just mental but you're gonna need at least half a year to get over. If my girlfriend did it, you can too. But.. You kind of have to really want to get over it. xD don't be like my guy friend that just turned to something else. |

Sounds like a case of vaginitis to me. Just rinse the sand out and you should be good

dude, for real. Poisoning yourself comes with reprecussions. Like eating magical mushrooms, you should have a plan. Food is important, sleep before is good, and not over doing it is also good. But most freaking important is not to drink crappy liquor (I spent my childhood slamming fifths of absolute and other crap. Now that I am all grown up I drink grey goose vodka, and various 100 percent agave tequilas. Also if you burn I suggest getting really high and then start drinking, but don't stop smoking you wanna keep that buzz up and focus on that while you are drinking. Just a few thoughts from a pro.

Reminds me of a horrible night of Wild Turkey and Jager Bombs. For months I couldn't even smell Red Bull without getting sick, and even years later I still have trouble with whiskey.

Maybe it has to do with what you are drinking or you just need to easy yourself back into it. Next time before you head out just make sure you are well hydrated and also had a good meal before hand.

Similar thing happened to me thanks to absinthe in Okinawa back in 2004.
A buddy and I basically split a bottle of absinthe and were out of our minds drunk. We weren't alcohol poisoned but we did eventually black out. A month or two later, we decided to hit the absinthe again and this time, despite putting 2 sugar cubes in my shot, I immediately wanted to throw up. The shot hit my stomach and tried to come right back up. A second shot didn't fare any better. I pretty much switched to beer after that. I don't generally mess with hard liquor anymore. |

Alcohol poisoning is when you're liver physically can't process more alcohol so it all just dumps into your bloodstream and you are SOL if you don't get to a hospital. I'd say you just got reealy drunk.
You'll get over it. This happened to me when I was 16 when I drank a 12 pack of smirnoff ice (laugh it up). To this day I have no interest in the things, but scotch rocks goes down smooth as can be. Your taste will develop just like with food, unless of course you stay boring forever. |
