Why Does Alcohol Eventually Lead To Vomiting Bile?

Hi I'm a 22 year old college student and for years now I have suffered with abnormally bad hangovers. When I drink any amount of alcohol I am up the next day and some of the night severely vomiting. I can not keep any food or liquids down but I continue to vomit up stomach bile and acid. I've tried drinking lots of water while I drink, taking anti-acids, acid reducers, and stomach settlers but NOTHING seems to work. Growing up I never vomited. What is wrong with me?

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

You are suffering from the alcohol intolerance.

To digest the alcohol uoi need to have a dehydrogenase enzyme. There are two type of enzymes available in our body.

If you are not having any of the one enzyme than you are going to suffer with vomiting.

Exact cause can only be possible after the biochemical examination of the vomitus and blood for enzyme.

I also advice you to get you USG done. Exact management can only be possible when you confirmly diagnosed.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
