Alcohol vomiting

Hi all,

I recently found myself waking up in the middle of the night (about 5-6 hours after last drink) and feeling extremely sick. It’s only after I puke that I instantly feel better.

This has been happening after consuming no more than 2 mixed drinks. I understand they are stronger than a typical beer, but my pre Reta tolerance was much higher than 2.

To be honest, it almost feels like the delayed gastric emptying is causing the alcohol to sit in my stomach and cause massive discomfort.

I don’t drink very often, but I have a trip coming up this weekend and would like to enjoy 1-2 drinks in the evening without the fear of throwing up at 4am.

Does anyone have experience with this side effect or recommendations in how to make this better? Perhaps eating more prior to drinking could help or switching to a lower ABV drink like beer or seltzer could reduce this?

Thought and tips are very appreciated!
