Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that sharp pain on putting pressure over the roof of the mouth after vigorous vomiting post being over-drunk can be due to injury to the mucosa of the roof of mouth cause due to physical trauma caused due to reflux of the stomach contents..
Also there has been chemical injury caused by acid that can also reflux along with food..
I would suggest you to take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen and also gargle with numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine..
Take a soft diet and avoid spicy foods..
Suck ice pips..
In case if you do not find improvement in a week consult an Oral Physician or an ENT and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
