Can alcohol withdrawal cause vomiting?
I'm trying to reduce my alcohol intake, and I've noticed that if I go a day or two without a drink, I feel really queasy and sometimes even vomit. Could this be a sign of alcohol withdrawal?

Sipping warm ginger tea or chewing a small piece of cardamom can help soothe the stomach during mild nausea. However, if the vomiting is severe and you cannot keep any water down, do not rely on home tips. Go see a doctor immediately.

If you are planning to quit, budget a small amount for a doctor's consultation first. Getting a prescription for basic anti-vomiting tablets is extremely cheap and will save you from expensive emergency dehydration treatments later.

Listen, vomiting during withdrawal is a clear sign your body is struggling to cope. Do not try to be a hero and suffer through it. If it gets out of hand, go straight to a clinic and let a doctor handle it.

Vomiting is caused by the sudden over-excitation of your nervous system when alcohol is stopped. Keep an eye out for severe dehydration or if you see blood in the vomit. It's best to consult a doctor for a safe detox plan.
