It's unusual: to have such a "violent" reaction to alcohol! You should call your Primary Care Provider as soon as practical and discuss with him/her! DON'T BE EMBARRASSED it may be related to a number of conditions.. In the meantime ..try using some antacid or an H-2 Blocker (Pepcid (famotidine) AC) to calm your stomach down! Hope this helps! Good Luck! Dr Z
