I always drink a Gatorade after I drink alot of alcohol in order to try to ward off hangovers, so I guess if you drank way to much alcohol then drinking a whole lot of Gatorade would be a good way to stave off some of the effects (namely the dehydration and lack of electrolytes).

"I'm never going to drink this much again" ... "and this time I REALLY mean it" <-doesn't work
 
you'll be alright. it's just your body trying to fix what you've done.

drink lots of water. get a gallon jug of water and keep it next to you. make sure you drink it all by the end of the day. have a friend/gf pick it up for you if you don't feel like moving.
 
..since your already a problem drinker you may as well have a few eyeopeners to take the edge off.

A kid who can't stomach his first hangover is a "problem drinker"? :roll:

gatorade might make him worse because his stomach is already too acidic.... it's about as acidic as a can of dr. pepper.

water ftw.

Was it your first time drinking? 375ml of vodka is a mickey. Don't worry--you won't die of it. My worst night I drank about double that volume in whiskey. Never again.

Here are some tips:
- don't go outside, your body is weak from the effects of the alcohol and the lack of sleep.
- cancel all plans for the day.
- get a friend or family member to pick you up a 6pack of Gatorade. drink the whole 6 of em over the course of the day.
- have a quick shower of 5 mins just to scrub the vomit stench off your face/hands/etc. don't stay in the shower too long as you're weak, don't want to get dizzy or that. change into some fresh clothes. get the vomit clothes out of your room.
- introduce food later on in the day.
- get off the computer and get some rest/lay down. close all blinds, make the room pitch black. go to your kitchen every 2-3 hours to guzzle down more gatorade and perhaps get some breads in there.

Let this moment sink in. Realize you don't want to feel like this again and try to use moderation from now on.

Stupidest comments ever. You can die of 8-12 (no consesus) shots. Especially if you combine it with other drugs (caffiene). I am not saying its likely or that the OP will but a blanket statement like you won't die from that is wrong.

I just checked a BAC calculator and it says that drinking 8 shots straight gives you a BAC of .32 @ 100 lbs, .27 @ 120 lbs, both of which may require medical attention. So if the OP was a very small person then your statement could me wrong.

It might. You'll probably swear off hard liquor for a while and go to beer. Eventually you'll get back on the horse and do this again. 😉

You should be fine in a couple of hours.

i chugged about a half a 5th of vodka and took 4 caffeine pills yesterday around 4 then passed out until 2 and have been throwing up since then. very acidic but i dont think the caffeine pills are messing me up, no heart palpitations and normal pulse but this isn't normal nausea its more like sitting on top of my stomach

Dont worry about it will all be over soon. Its best to just get back to the vodka and make the hurt go away.

FFS he has a hangover, he's not dieing. WTF is up with ATOT and alcohol? People saying this kid is a problem drinker, a kid asking if he needs a hospital to deal with his hangover, I just don't get this place sometimes.
 
This is the same reason that some people have died drinking red bull and vodka's. Alcohol is a depressent and caffeine energizes your body. Some hearts have problem w/ the stress and can literally explode. I doubt you'll die, but just stay inside, relax, drink lots of water, and try to sleep it off.
 
your that sick from only 1/2 of a 5th?

I've drank that much at least 12 times in college.

I'm a big fat 600lb gorilla though.

Hehe I pictured a drunk going: "Hey food I want you too meet my buddy vodka. Food this is vodka, vodka this is food."

Food: "Hi vodka!"
Vodka: "Sup bish. buuuurrrrp"
Food: "Ewww gross! I'm outta here!"
Vodka:"Das rite ho, GTFO!"
*vomit*
Vodka: "Ahh peace at last all alone in the tummy! *Lays back in the hammock drinking a martini*"

See so your only problem is food doesn't get along with vodka. Just stick to drinking and stop trying to eat stuff, it's bad for you.
