Q: Alcohol Alergy Throwing Up
asked by: upsetpartygirl on February 8th, 2005

Hey.
In the past year I have been throwing up about 85% of the time when I drink alcohol. It does not seem to have anything to do with how much I consume. For example I can have two beers and throw up just the same as if I had ten mixed drinks. I do know it seems strong around my period which is a time I feel nassua alot. Am I allergic to alcohol? Could I have an ulcer? Will I be able to ever drink a normal amount agian without having to be scared of getting sick? :evil:

It might just be b/c of the hormones surrounding your period. I have that if I drink like 4 or 5 days before my period or on it. I will throw up. You should talk to your doctor though just to make sure you aren't allegeric to alcohol.

Is it when you drink any kind of alcohol or specifically beer? I know you can have allergies to certain ingredients in beer and possibly wine (i've never heard of an allergy to liquor).

Dont Drink
Dont drink wow!!! Drinking isnt everything in life you dont need to drink to have fun if you cant drink your body is telling you not to. Drinking is a waste of time, money, health and in fact your health doesnt sound like alcohol. Drink soda!!

Re: Alcohol Alergy Throwing Up
In the past few months I have been experiencing the same problem of feeling nausious and vommiting when I drink. I am in the process of trying to figure out why this is happening also. As you wrote in your message I can throw up after having only 3 beers. Seemed to come on all of a sudden too. As for this happening around the time of my period I can't be sure because I am usually irregular somtimes skipping 2-3 months between. But I initially assumed that would have somthing to do with it.
Did you ever look into this further? Still having the same problem?
Curious to know.

Same Problem
I am having the same problem too. It's only been happening for a year. I used to never get sick. Now everytime I drink, I throw it up in the morning. I feel so sick to my stomach. I thought it was because of my birth control pills but i've stopped taking them and it still happened. This really sucks.

Ahhh, the alcohol issue. I'm currently working through this... Everyone always thinks is pills they take or this or that... Theres a checklist to look thru if drinking any amount of booze is making you sick.

-ulcer
-allergy
-anxiety

i found mine was anxiety. I am (or was) a big drinker. Where I could have 10 or 11 beers and endless shots without ever puking. And one day even I had half a beer and emptied my guts out. So after getting tested for ulcers, refulx etc... I discovered it was a social anxiety that literally developed over night. The only way to really cure that is therapy. But next time ur around booze really take a minute to think about it. If it is just you convincing yourself that you will be sick, and therefore you get sick. Since I dot have money or time for therapy, what I do before I go to a party, is make sure I go seperate from my friends so I can leave whenever I feel I wantg to or need too, seconly, I always go an hour before everyone else so I can make myself comfortable in the situation I will be in, and after about 30 minutes of familiarizing myself with the place, I have a couple drinks and then I am ok once all my friends show up. If you are thinking to yourself "well I dont wanna seem like a big loser and be there an hour bymyself", do something productive with that hour. If its a house party I always go and help set up, or if its a club I order a sandwich and watch the game if im gonna be so early. You should really give it a try, and make sure you use mental blocks and dont think about being sick. Just keep yourself occupied the entire time. Be relaxed and dont stress yourself out, and the nausia will go away. Good luck!

Allergy to Alcohol
It's amazing looking back how many ways I tried to deal with my addiction. The marijuana maintenance program for one. If I were allergic to strawberries for instance I would simply avoid them. Alcohol on the other hand is far more complicated. There is a book out there called "Twelve Steps And Twelve Traditions" published by AA World Services. Step one may be of interest. Only you can say if you are alcoholic. Allergies, as I understand not being a Doctor, can take many forms. I am alcoholic and my allergy involves hypersensitivity and complete change in behavior. My allergy will be with me for life. I've tried every conceiveable way to drink in might be considered a normal manner. Only abstinence has provided relief. If you find that you are unable to stop on your own you are by no means alone and the doors of AA are always open to you. God bless you and good luck.

alcohol alergy
i am suffering from this as well -

1st - the "just don't drink" is an ignorant reply - have youe ever considered how many foods have alcohol in them when prepared? Pasta sauce, meats, vegetable sauces - it isn't just about having a cold beer - - but that's another issue...

I don't want to drink to excess any more than anyone else - but I would like to enjoy an occasional glass of wine out with my husband, or a beer when watching football - this isn't about what people shouldn't do, it's about what I can't do.

Please share any findings that are found - I'm desperate to figure this out! Thanks!

Talking About Drinking
I thinking drinking is not totally bad to our heath, because our body also needs an alcohol, but not so much amount of alcohol. Alcohol also give benefits to our health if you use it in the good way,but I'm not encouraging that we should drink. I am only saying the good benefits of alcohol.
so drink moderately.....

I am having the same problem too, I throw up the next morning every 15 minutes like clock work. This has been happening for the last couple of yrs, I found that taking motrin and drinking water before i go to bed worked, or drinking water between beers..but everytime i fell asleep without doing that which would be often, i would be sick the next day, the last time was Aug.1st I drank about 11 beers n i had it the worst, i threw up about 65 times the next day every 15 min all day long until 9:30 at night, i couldn't believe i did that to myself, what is wrong with me why would i drink stuff my body was rejecting it was screaming for help..I vowed never to drink again, it's so hard cause that's what my friends like to do but I can't handle it so I went to AA and started to learn that I'm a moderate alcoholic..anyway it's been a month n a half since i stopped but i gave into my temptation the other night n had 3/4's of a beer n 3 hrs later i threw up, now i've come to the conclusion i can't drink for the rest of my life obviously my body is telling me something, not that i want to go out and party like crazy anymore but i would enjoy a glass of wine or 2 on occassion but i can't even handle that..i came on here looking for answers to see if there was something wrong with me, i've been abusing alcohol since 13 now i'm 28 n the vomiting started about 5 yrs ago..i hope i didn't mess up my liver..
