Why do I vomit as soon as I drink alcohol?

In daily life, drinking has become an indispensable part of entertainment and gatherings for modern people, and many people are prone to vomiting after drinking. This is a normal phenomenon. There are many reasons for vomiting after drinking. Generally, it is because the stomach and internal organs cannot withstand the stimulation of alcohol, which will easily cause vomiting. It will also easily irritate the stomach and intestines, easily leading to gastrointestinal diseases.

What causes vomiting after drinking?

1. Drinking alcohol invades the cerebral cortex and anesthetizes it, thus causing drunkenness; one of the reasons for vomiting and headache is that alcohol is oxidized into acetaldehyde in the body, which causes vomiting and headache.

2. Whether it is brewed wine or distilled wine, there are trace amounts of fusel oil present, and the fusel oil in the wine is also the factor that causes dizziness after drinking.

3. The liver cannot withstand too much alcohol, so vomiting occurs. The amount of alcohol consumed varies from person to person.

The dangers of drinking

1. Cause liver damage

The liver is most likely to be damaged by excessive drinking. Because alcohol needs to be metabolized by the liver, as a decomposition organ, the toxicity of ethanol in the wine needs to be broken down by the liver. Drinking a large amount of alcohol at one time can lead to weakened liver activity. If you drink a lot of alcohol for a long time, it will lead to fatty liver, chronic alcoholic hepatitis and even cirrhosis. In the most serious cases, it can also induce liver cancer.

2. Cause renal failure

The damaging effects of alcohol on the liver can also extend to the kidneys. Because alcohol has a diuretic effect, the kidneys cannot regulate the flow of body fluids normally, resulting in a disorder in the distribution of sodium, potassium, and chloride ions, causing electrolyte imbalance. Excessive drinking is the second leading cause of kidney failure.

3. Damage to the nervous system

Excessive drinking can cause serious damage to memory, attention, judgment, function and emotional response. Drinking too much can cause slurred speech, blurred vision, and loss of balance. Alcoholism can also lead to violent accidents, which is harmful to personal health and social stability.

4. Causes osteoporosis

It is generally believed that thin people with low weight, people who lack daily exercise, people with a family history, people who use corticosteroids for a long time, women with early menopause, people who drink more than 4 cups of coffee a day, and people who have undergone gastrointestinal surgery are prone to osteoporosis. But it is worth noting that excessive smoking and drinking, especially long-term alcoholics, can also lead to bone loss, and the age of osteoporosis will be significantly advanced.
