What Causes Vomiting With Sweating After Alcohol Ingestion?

Hello. 3 nights ago, I consumed alcohol, whiskey, about 20 ounces over 5 hours. Don t drink very often. (I am 6 5 280 lbs, 44 y.o., no major mediacl issues - no diseases, no surgeries, etc.) I did have dinner first. The next morning I vomited yellow, no food. Within the next hour, I vomited again, this time green, no food. No headache, no diarrhea, no signs of jaundice or even bloodshot eyes. I have no appetite still 3 days later (but I am eating, having bowel movements), and am sweating mildly non-stop. I have had terrible armpit B.O. since then also. No urge to vomit since morning after . No heartburn. Did I permenantly damage my liver?

Gastroenterologist,  's  Response
Good morning
Sorry to hear about this illness

I can reassure you that these symptoms don't indicate permanent liver damage. These symptoms indicate that you might have stomach upset (called alcoholic gastritis) due to binge drinking of alcohol. I would suggest you avoid this behaviour of binge drinking (means on a large amount of alcohol and a point of time and off alcohol for long periods of time) as this is more hazardous than consuming small quantities of alcohol over prolonged period of time.
I would suggest you to get a liver function test on your blood to clear further doubts.
So take of your drinking behavior to stay healthy

Hope this would answer your question
wish you a speedy recovery
