Are there any preventative measures for puking?

If you are going to drink excessive amounts of alcohol, is there any way to lessen your chances of puking? I have heard mixed stories but noone could explain their theories. Any thoughts on the question at hand. I don't need any lectures on drinking. Thanks.
 
Nope. Once you hit a level where your body says "Oh sh*t...I have been poisoned. I must evacuate all stomach contents." you're pretty much screwed.

You'll end up feeling better the next day if you yack anyway.
 
Is this drinking the night before or next day as part of hangover? Only hangover cures (avoiding the obvious of not drinking) is pills plus lots of water/gatorade, and lots of sleep. A big meal the night before won't hurt either in curbing the hangover.

In terms of not puking that night try not to be stuffed on food and some would say that mixing drinks can upset a stomach. Rushing lots in quickly is a major cause as well.
 
You might want to eat something beforehand to absorb some of the booze, like bread or something. But then if you hit the puking level, that comes out as well.
 
Drink water once you get to where you are fairly drunk. After you drink 2-3 glasses of water resume drinking. No hangovers and I don't get sick. Well I did the other night because I didn't drink water.

A multivitamin (particularly with B-complex) before going to bed will help too. You whiz out a lot of stuff while on a good bender.

ya, definately consume the water.
 
beer before liquor never sicker,
liquor before beer you're in the clear.

Just puke it out if you have to...its going to hurt but otherwise you're almost guaranteed a bad hangover the next day. Sometimes you just need to get the crap out of your system.
 
if your body is telling you something, you should listen to it. it seems rather DUMB to try and drink so much alcohol that your body tries to forcefully reject it and then try to prevent your body from doing so. this isn't a lecture on drinking, lets just use a little common sense here.
 
Pace yourself.
Pace yourself.
Don't start out too fast.
Eat greasy food all night while drinking.
Drink lots of water and possibly eat before going to sleep.
A aspirin or tylenol before hitting the sack helps too.

Gravol is an anti-nauseant, it works for me when I am sick (like ill sick not drink sick) .. maybe you could try that.
 
don't drink as much. It's that simple. Just drink till you're drunk; no need to keep going.

But if you HAVE to keep drinking, the following helps to avoid hangovers and sickness:

[*]Drink lots of water. If possible match the water 1:1 with alcohol
[*]Take Vitamin B-12. Take one right before you start drinking (heck, or WITH your first drink) plus another right before you pass out/go to sleep. B-12 protects your nervous system from damage due to the alcohol and will greatly reduce or eliminate your hangover.
[*]Lacking B-12, an aspirin or two before bed will help. Tylenol/ibuprofen will not, and may in fact be harmful. Don't do it.
[*]Eat oily food before/with alcohol. The grease will goat your stomach and not allow so much absorbtion.
[*]"Liquor before beer..." is a load of crap. It's been tested and proven a myth. Just stay away from cheap alcohol.
[*]Try to stay with "pure" or clear liquors. High quality vodka, white wine, white rum are all better than dark rum, tequila, red wine. The color comes from sediments and impurities which will just give your body that much more trouble when trying to detox.
 
Don't mix drinks. And don't drink tequila.

<Jim Breuer>See, your stomach is like a bouncer, right? And he knows beer, beer's fine. "Hey, Bud, how ya doin? Good to see ya Miller High Life! Hey, it's our old friend Heine!" And beer gets along with everybody just fine, you've got a great party going on. [insert more here....] Then along comes Tequila. And Tequila, he never comes to parties alone. No, no, he always brings at least 9 or 10 of his buddies along. You let one in, then the next minute he's sneaking his friends in through the back door saying "Come in, man! Nobody's looking!" and before you know it the party's full of Tequila, and then one of them insults Bud's girlfriend and all of a sudden there's a rumble going on. And then Stomach, the bouncer, has no choice but to say "ALL RIGHT!! EVERYBODY OUT!! Everybody, nobody's allowed to stay. Ham and eggs, you too, everybody's gotta go."</Jim Breuer>

Actually, I have had the experience that if you drink a little the next day, it acutally helps. Someone once told me that a hangover is a form of withdrawl, so by giving yourself a little bit, you curb the effects. Nothing crazy, but a beer, perhaps.

The greesy food thing works wonders. If you can eat something before the night is over, it really helps. The sickness also comes from being dehydrated...try and drink water through the night.

bad idea.

gravol + booze = fvcked right up, and then sick.
 
a secret my dentist uses is breathing really hard. It might seem like it would cause puking more than stop it, but if done right it really does work.
 
Why worry about taking precautions, just drink til you puke and then drink some more. Hangover next morning? No problem, keep drinking.
 
Drink to just before the point of puking everyday for a year. You should be able to handle just about anything after that.

And then you die of liver failure. Woo.
 
if you need to puke, you need to puke. it's your body saying "you've poisened me and if i don't get rid of the rest, you're in trouble you dumbass."
