drunk alcohol a half of pint of fireball which i think is 4-5 shots ive drunk way more before but threw up once last night and continuing to throw up the next day until now its been24 hours im still sick and my body hurts so bad i havent eaten?

Accepted Answer

: The combination of alcohol and spices in the drink likely caused an erosive irritation of your stomach lining. This leads to the repeated retching and poor tolerance to foods/fluids until it heals. Try frequent small (1-2 ounce) intake of electrolyte water and simple foods like applesauce and breads. If you can stay hydrated this should improve gradually. Avoid alcohol for a while.

Question 6

could being drunk increase detox?

Accepted Answer

Don't understand ?: Detoxification is the process of helping people who are dependent on alcohol (or other drugs) get their body back to normal after stopping the drug.  Most people who enter "detox" programs are under the influence of their drug, although some will enter after they begin to experience withdrawal - shakes, sweating, anxiety etc. The presence of absence of intoxication doesn't change length of detox.

Question 7

why do drunk people breathe rapidly?

Accepted Answer

They don't always: Most people do not either increase or decrease their respiratory rate with mild to moderate intoxication, and with severe intoxication their breathing may actually slow down.  If respirations are rapid, it may be due to alcoholic ketoacidosis, a metabolic disturbance caused by alcohol that causes the body to hyperventillate to get rid of carbon dioxide and compensate for acidosis.
