Drank too much?

Question

okay so last night my friend and i got drunk. we didn't have shot glasses b/c we weren't at home, so we used dixie cups. obviously they hold more than a shot glass because they are 3 oz. we each had a dixie and a half with vodka, and a little more than half of gin. we did the shots around 10:30 or so and right in a row. then we walked to a movie. at the movie we started feeling sick and went to the bathroom. it was around 1 or 1:30 i think and i passed out, only waking up to vomit (5 times). we only spent the first five minutes in the movie, the other two hours were in the bathroom. i don't remember much of that because i was out. today i feel really sick still, but just my stomach. no headache.

i've only been drunk once before, and only a little.

how long am i going to be sick for? and how much should i drink next time? i'm 5'7" and weigh about 115 (i'm a girl).

Answer 1

this is not scientific but i think you should limit your alcohol intake to about 1.5 oz. /100#/hr.

i got drunk or red wine when i was 16 and every time i had a drink of water for the next two days my head would start spinning

Answer 2

she's right your height and weight is concerning... but in all seriousness you may be sick all day it just depends. you need to take it easy

Answer 3

Ok, well first ur sick in the stomach cause ur too skinny for ur height. I'm 5'7" and weight 170, I'm just a tiny bit over weight but in great condition.

From what I read I think u drank quite a lot and ur body isn't use to all that alcohol that u put in ur system. Ur intestines were probably getting weak in digesting the alcohol and that's probably y ur stomach hurts and not ur head. Be careful next time, drink less than half of what u drank and eat something before u drink.

Answer 4

Well it does sound like you drank way too much. Vomiting is our body's way of telling us that we are poisoning it and it can't take any more. Please be careful with this...many teens don't know that they can die from alcohol poisoning or from passing out and breathing in their own vomit. In the future two shots at the most of a hard liquor like vodka should be withing safe limits. You are a small girl (weight wise) and as a result you can't drink alot and expect that your body can handle it. I'm glad you are alright today and didn't end up in the hospital with alcohol poisoning. Perhaps staying away from alcohol period is a good idea. There's not alot that's good that comes out of it and there are currently studies which show that teens who drink can actually cause brain injury which is subtle but will influence how well they can do in college in future endeavors. Again, please be careful and consider water instead of alcohol...last night would have been alot more fun without it.
