Hi, I'm 24 years old and I've had a problem with drinking alcohol for a while. At first I was always ill after being out, I would go to bed and sleep for a few hours, before waking up around 4am and feeling really hot and sick where I would then be sick until the morning, it would usually only be yellow coloured flem, no food. I went to see my GP who said I was producing too much acid and put me on Omeprazole tablets to control this. He also told me to make sure to only drink on a full stomach This helped for a while, but recently I have been to three weddings and been sick during the evening. I eat the wedding breakfast with alcohol around 3-4pm, by 9-10pm I am feeling very hot and sick which comes over me very quickly, I am then sick until I have nothing left in my stomach (usually some food comes up) and then I am fine for the rest of the evening and the next day. Has anyone else experienced this or know of something i could try to stop this?
Why don't you stop it?
it is ever green treatment. later you may get addicted.
How about, don't drink..?
You have alcohol intolerance.
You're body is missing the necessary enzymes (alcohol dehydrogenase) to break down the alcohol. As alcohol is a poison, if un-metabolised, the body take things into it own hands by ejecting the poison through the mouth, much as it would do with food poisoning.
I have this problem too - vomiting, headaches. There's not much I can do other than be really careful when I drink.
