Question 1

why does drinking too much alcohol make us puke?

Accepted Answer

Too Much Alcohol?: Not everyone has this response, but alcohol can significantly irritate the lining of the stomach...Thus making it easier to have an upset stomach and to lead to nausea, vomiting, and ulcers.  

Also adding to this potential is that drinking heavily for  your body type and experience can lead to alcohol poisoning and thus your body wants to expel anything toxic.

Question 5

why does drinking too much alcohol cause skin breakouts?

Question 6

could going to church help me stop drinking too much alcohol ?

Accepted Answer

Not just going....: People find their way out of chemical dependency in many ways, including increasing their spiritual/religious observances.  However, the mere act of "going" is not likely to have a major effect.  People drink/drug because they are in some kind of pain, usually old trauma, and untreated underlying emotional/psychological issues. Church can be helpful, but mental health workers also help - use both!
