Alcohol made me sick?

Question

i was in a restaurant a few nights ago and i got a 2 oz shot of jack daniels and drank it because my throat was hurting bad.(sinus infection). i chased it with some cola.

but my stomach was empty i was starving we were waiting on the food. about 2 minutes after i drank it, i started feeling dizzy, extremely lightheaded, my whole body was tingling, i felt like i was gonna pass out. it was scarey. i got up and went outside to get some air. after a few minutes i felt better and after i ate.

surely just my stomach being empty didnt cause such a problem like that. thats never happened before. im nearly impervious to alcohol it has no effect on me.

why did that happen?

Answer 1

well 4 one, u had a sinus infection.  two, u had no food in u and u should have been sleeping  Finally, ur a lLIGHTWEIGHT  its not a big deal  u just need to increase ur tolerance    recomend a instructional film called "beerfest"   the methods used in that movie have been proven time and time again.    UR A ********

Answer 2

You actually could have an allergy or perhaps a blood sugar problem. You should see a doc.

Hope it's nothin' big!

Answer 3

alcohol went straight into yr system as u had eaten and you were ill

just make sure u have a meal before/while drinking alcohol

and stay away from if your ill

Answer 4

Empty stomach maybe.

Answer 5

because your stomach was empty.

if there's food in it, it absorbs/dilutes the alcohol *doesnt understand the science behind it* so it doesnt affect you as much

Answer 6

I WOULD SAY THAT IT WASNT THE ALCOHOL ALONE, BUT A REACTION TO EMPTY STOMACH, SICKNESS, LOW RESISTANCE DUE TO ILLNESS, DIZZYNESS DUE TO LOW BLOOD SUGA AND THEN WAILING DOWN A SHOT.... TOO MUCH AT ONE TIME.... IF YOU HAD EATEN 1ST, THIS WOULDNT HAVE HAPPENED, IF YOU WERENT SICK, THIS WOULDNT HAVE HAPPENED. IT WAS A MIXTURE OF THE THREE AND BTW, I HOPE YOU ARE FEELING BETTER.  

Answer 7

When your ill, alcohol has a different effect on you.  Also you would be surprised how drinking on an empty stomach makes a massive difference.  Another thing that makes a difference is the time you drink.  For example, one time, in the morning, I was feeling ill so didn't eat and when my friend came round at about lunch time, it had 2 pints of bitter and then had a severe headache.  Also, were you on any medication at the time, that could have been it.
