After a long night drinking a few days ago I was hungover and was throwing up in the morning. Afterwards my side (about halfway down, very isolated pain) hurts. I can take deep breaths without it hurting, just when I move my body (upper) it hurts again.

Any ideas?

When you puke, your core contracts pretty powerfully, and if you don't work out, it could just be muscle soreness you're experiencing. It could also have something to do with the dehydration and lack of electrolytes that's associated with hangovers. Get yourself some gatorade, drink plenty of non-alcoholic fluids, and eat some carbs for the dehydration/electrolyte stuff. Stretch and massage the affected area for the soreness.
