How to stop vomiting while drunk?

Question

Sometimes when I drink too much, I end up vomiting for hours afterwards. It ruins the next day completely. What are some ways to prevent or stop vomiting when drunk?

When you drink too much, your body tries to expel the toxins, which is why you vomit. I always focus on replenishing my electrolytes with sugar-free coconut water and eating simple carbs like boiled potatoes once the vomiting stops. Clean food and proper hydration will get your digestive tract back on track faster.

I've been there and trust me, trying to eat heavy greasy food to 'soak up' alcohol while throwing up is a huge mistake. Just stick to basic ice chips or tiny sips of cold water. Give your liver and stomach time to process the alcohol; it usually takes a few hours to settle down.

If you are actively vomiting while drunk, please do not lie flat on your back as this can be highly dangerous. Sit up or sleep on your side to keep your airway clear. Keep sipping plain water slowly, and if the vomiting is uncontrollable, you need medical attention to prevent severe dehydration.

Please just sit in a cool room, loosen your clothes, and try to take slow breaths. Don't force yourself to drink too much water at once right now. Just rest your head and try to sleep it off, you will feel much better after some quiet rest.

I am not a doctor, but from my own college days, I realized trying to stop the vomiting forcefully actually made me feel worse. I just let it out, rinsed my mouth well, and drank warm water slowly. Resting my stomach completely for the next few hours was the only thing that helped.
