I'd have a drink maybe once every 2 or 3 weeks (but everytime I'd drink I'd get nicely buzzed, never absolutely toasted because of this problem). But then again, I'm taking medication (tetracycline for those that know what it is) that they tell you not to use when drinking (which I don't) because it also puts stress on the liver.

usually if you drink while you are on antibiotics it cancels out the effects of the medecine so ultimately all you are doing is stressing your liver.

i hate blood tests too but sometimes they are necessary. maybe it isnt in your case, but at least stop drinking until you arent on medication.

do you get similar stomach problems from other things? coke, tomatos, anything acidic? I get those sort of problems from all those things as well as spirits, but only when I'm really stresses from work. I think it's a self-defence mechanism for the body, cos I can't get trashed when I have so much work to do

But I've consulted my doctor and she said that what I'm supposed to do is if I'm getting drunk on a Friday or Saturday, don't take the medication till the monday, which is what I've been doing when I drink.

Chili (sometimes), some pizza sauce, I used to from Coke, but I don't drink it anymore.

could e a developed taste aversion. I formed one to whiskey not even by throwing it up myself, but my buddy drank a bunch and threw up all over my house. Now I pair the two and I gag whenever I smell it.


one way to get over it, which sounds funny to get someone to drink it is usually to get someone to stop so I'll reverse it, is to drink it in small doses over a long period of time. that way you can start pairing teh good drinking with no puke.

the hard part is seeing how much you can drink. Start small, and be consistent. It is even better if you are doing something fun at the time. but every week or 2 increase the amount of alcohol you are drinking.

it takes time but it should work, although I would be careful, it might be a blessing in disguise that you puke with alcohol, i.e. your not going to be an alcoholic if you puke off it all the time.

that sucks about you not being able to catch a buzz while drinking. You should try jello shots or something. It is not as bad as drinking the spirits straight. I know this sounds stupid but what is rev.? I have never heard of it before.

It's a caffinated cooler. It tastes like blue freezee with alcohol in it. Very sweet. Coolers are the worst for me to drink because of the high content of sugar, I ALWAYS get gut rot.
