I was drinking all last night... and i am fucking Hurting right now...

does anybody know why after throwing up you immediately feel better?

Last night i yacked my face off and fell asleep... this morning i drank some water... felt sick and had to puke again...

there was NOTHING in my stomach but RIGHT after i felt great... its strange because i dont think any extra stuff was expelled?

I remember those days, and I think it's more a mental thing (much like a placebo effect) than anything else. Generally when you throw up (not ness. alcohol related) you tend to feel better. So it would make sense that it would give you the same feeling when alcohol related.

I know what you mean about nothing in your stomach, and you are still throwing up in the morning. I generally would drink something right before, and during the yack because I woudl rather throw SOMETHING up than have dry heaves.

well if you are drinking water you are helping to dilute and remove intoxicants thus....

Takin from the "Biology of a Hangover" at Howstuffworks.com

A product of alcohol metabolism that is more toxic than alcohol itself, acetaldehyde is created when the alcohol in the liver is broken down by an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase. The acetaldehyde is then attacked by another enzyme, acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, and another substance called glutathione, which contains high quantities of cysteine (a substance that is attracted to acetaldehyde). Together, the acetaldehyde dehydrogenase and the glutathione form the nontoxic acetate (a substance similar to vinegar). This process works well, leaving the acetaldehyde only a short amount of time to do its damage if only a few drinks are consumed.
Unfortunately, the liver's stores of glutathione quickly run out when larger amounts of alcohol enter the system. This causes the acetaldehyde to build up in the body as the liver creates more glutathione, leaving the toxin in the body for long periods of time. In studies that blocked the enzyme that breaks down acetaldehyde (acetaldehyde dehydrogenase) with a drug called Antabuse, designed to fight alcoholism, acetaldehyde toxicity resulted in headaches and vomiting so bad that even alcoholics were wary of their next drink. Although body weight is a factor (see How Alcohol Works), part of the reason women should not keep up with men drink-for-drink is because women have less acetaldehyde dehydrogenase and glutathione, making their hangovers worse because it takes longer for the body to break down the alcohol.

Some of the most common hangover symptoms -- fatigue, stomach irritation and a general sense of illness all over -- can be further attributed to something called glutamine rebound.

Well isn't the reason you puke because your body is trying to expell stuff it can't handle? Once that stuff is gone it's all good
