Vomiting, commonly known as puking, is the involuntary emptying of stomach contents through the mouth. While vomiting can be a natural response to certain illnesses or toxins, it can also be an unpleasant and embarrassing side effect of alcohol consumption.
Avoiding vomiting while intoxicated is important for several reasons. First, vomiting can lead to dehydration, which can worsen the symptoms of a hangover. Second, vomiting can irritate the esophagus and stomach, causing pain and discomfort. Third, vomiting can be a sign of alcohol poisoning, a serious medical condition that can be fatal if not treated promptly.
