Drinking heavily and hugging the toilet and throwing up furiously? Anyone who knows what it’s like to have your stomach turned upside down knows what it’s like to have your stomach turned upside down. Today we’re going to talk about how to stop throwing up after drinking so that you don’t have to suffer so much the next time you have a hangover.
Don’t worry, I’m not going to say “the best thing to do is not to drink”, after all, sometimes you just have to have a few more drinks at a party. Let’s talk about what really works – how to prevent vomiting and how to get rid of it quickly.
Why do you vomit when you drink?
Simply put, alcohol stimulates the mucous membrane of the stomach, and the body thinks, “This is poisonous, we have to get rid of it quickly! , and so – vomiting! Coupled with the acetaldehyde produced by the metabolism of alcohol, it will make you dizzy and nauseous, and vomit even more.
Prevent vomiting: do this before and after drinking
1.Don’t drink on an empty stomach
Drinking on an empty stomach, alcohol is absorbed quickly, and it’s easier to get drunk, and it’s also easier to vomit. Eat something to pad your stomach before you drink:
Bread, rice (carbohydrates can slow down the absorption of alcohol)
Milk, yogurt (to protect the mucous membrane of the stomach)
Nuts, cheese (fat can slow down the speed of alcohol into the bloodstream)
2.Control the pace, don’t mix your drinks
The faster you drink, the sooner you throw up. Drink slowly and give your body time to metabolize.
Don’t mix drinks! Beer + liquor + wine = vomiting package, don’t challenge your stomach.
3.Drink plenty of water
Alcohol is diuretic and easy to dehydrate, and dehydration will aggravate nausea. Remember to drink plain water or sports drinks (to replenish electrolytes) when drinking alcohol, which can reduce headache and vomiting the next day.
Already want to vomit? Try these methods
1.Don’t fight it, throw up when you need to
If your stomach is churning, don’t hold it in. If your stomach is churning, don’t hold it in. It’s better to throw up instead (even though it’s a painful process). Rinse your mouth and drink some warm water. 2.
2.Drink honey or sugar water
The fructose in honey speeds up the metabolism of alcohol, and warm water soothes the stomach. You don’t have honey? Or just plain sugar water will do.
3.Eat ginger (it works!)
Ginger can stop vomiting, you can:
Drink ginger tea
Chew a small piece of ginger (exclusive to ruthless people)
Eat ginger candies (easy to carry)
4.Lie down on your side
If you are too dizzy to lie down, remember to lie down on your side to avoid choking on the vomit (very dangerous!)
Still nauseous the next day?
If the hangover still makes you want to vomit the next day:
Continue to hydrate with a sports drink or light salt water.
Eat light foods, such as white porridge and soda crackers, and don’t touch anything greasy.
Rest, don’t force yourself to move around, your body needs time to recover.
What should I seek medical attention for?
If the vomiting persists, vomiting blood, blurred consciousness, do not tough it out, rush to the hospital, may be alcohol poisoning.
Summarize
Eat before drinking, don’t have an empty stomach.
Drink slowly, don’t mix alcohol.
Drink more water to prevent dehydration.
Don’t hold back if you want to vomit, drink honey water or ginger tea after vomiting.
The next day, continue to hydrate, eat light.
Of course, the best thing to do is to live within your means and not drink to the point of vomiting. But if you really don’t have it under control, I hope these methods will help you!
