AVOID DEHYDRATION: Keep trying to drink, but if this persists you'll need to get yourself to a care center, especially if you begin to feel woozy or hung over, a sign of dehydration. Good luck.

Vomiting: Persistent vomiting can lead to dehydration. Small sips of water or chewing on ice chips can sometimes help get enough fluids into body to stay hydrated. However, anyone who feels lightheaded, faint or dizzy, especially w/change in position, needs to get urgent medical attention that may include intravenous (directly into veins) fluids & anti-emetics (to stop vomiting). We also need to find cause.

Preg vs GI bug?: If you think you may be preg, you need to check with preg test. Otherwise, thus may be a stomach bug. Either case, you're losing electrolytes by vomiting and may need to get to er for fluids if this persists.
