Would you expect to vomit all day after drinking this much?

I would have said it's a bit excessive, but not all-day-hangover excessive.

Aibu to think this???

Casillero de Diablo wines completely slay me, I avoid them at all costs so am sure it’s the Sulfites in them.

Me too, even the whites. Just one glass and they give me migraine.

If you are on a diet that severely restricts carbs such as the keto diet you will have reduced alcohol tolerance and unfortunately hangovers from hell. Its well documented, something to do with electrolyte and glycogen levels when youre in ketosis. Next time you drink you'll need to up your carbs that day.

icdtap · 28/03/2021 17:07

I have an allergy to sulphites and if I drink cheap, high sulphite wine I can feel very poorly after a single glass, including vomiting and banging headache.
I was just about to post exactly the same thing, then saw your post.
So yeah, if I'd drunk that much wine I'd have been very ill all day. Don't touch wine these days because I've been caught out far too many times before.

@Merryoldgoat

No. I’m ‘out of practise’ but occasionally I’ll get through a bottle and I’ll feel a bit off the next day but nothing toast and paracetamol wouldn’t fix.
Paracetemol isn't great for hangovers (liver)

No. I actually think I have alcohol intolerance. Wink Of the other kind. Ie I can drink far more than is good for me. I could always drink copious amounts of liquid. Even at 18. I wonder if it's related to my diabetes? Because I've always consumed astonishing amounts of water since toddlerhood, and still do.

I can drink like a fish even if I haven't drunk a drop in many many months. I can consume huge amounts, as if it's water. I don't get drunk drunk. I get a tiny bit tipsy and tell my closest friends that I love them. I don't get hangovers. Never have. Once or twice I felt marginally rough at Uni, 30 years ago, and realised I'd drink too much. I'm never sick.

So. The MN answer is that it is very varied!!

No I don't think you should be sick on that much, although a few might be and certainly not all day - there is something very wrong.

NeverDropYourMoonCup · 28/03/2021 17:20

I think, taking into account your build, it represents a fair bit to be drinking about 5-6 units in one evening (a bottle of Rioja is about 10 units). So feeling ill isn't that surprising in my opinion.

It's also why I tend to stick to one double gin and loads of tonic and ice. Far less chance of feeling like shit the following day.

Maybe you'd find it easier to not accidentally have enough to make you feel unwell if you bought the mini bottles? Definitely less wastage, too.

@TanteRose

Are you in perimeno? I can't drink red wine anymore - makes me feel sick Sad
My tolerance for alcohol disappeared just before age 40 and same with some of my friends. Also got especially sensitive to something in wine too. Almost as if I developed an allergy overnight v weird and not enjoyable anymore Blush
LyndaSnellsSniff · 28/03/2021 17:30

If I drink cheap wine I can be very, very sick indeed. Same goes for wine that’s been opened for a couple of days.

I once went to a friends’s house and took a bottle with me. She asked if I wanted to open that or have some of the wine that was already open in her fridge. I had some of the already opened wine. HUGE mistake. I got dizzy and slurry and walking home was a major effort. I was then very sick and was ill all the next day. This has happened to me twice before and each time I’m fairly sure I drank wine that was already opened.

WhatsErFace2020 · 28/03/2021 17:32

The darker the alcohol the harder it is for the liver to process.
Not that that stops me as I’d have drank yeh bottle and may have a little headache the next day but not be feeling sick at all.

OP - you didn’t say, are you used to drinking wine and more importantly red wine? If your liver Isent used to it...

AvaCallanach · 28/03/2021 17:34

That is my precise amount of wine that I can drink without a hangover. I never drink more than that and sometimes less. I don't drink red wine though, and find that prosecco and new world wines make me feel pretty unwell. Stick to European, preferably French. No idea why but it works for me.

ScrambledSmegs · 28/03/2021 17:39

I get very sick with most wine now - French or organic is pretty much the only 'safe' wine. And even then it has to be the good stuff. One small glass of Chilean Shiraz would ruin my weekend.

However if you're normally fine then I'd wonder if something else is going on. Hope you feel better soon OP.

littleloopylou · 28/03/2021 17:47

@WhatsErFace2020 I used to like gin martinis all the time and then after pregnancy, I couldn't countenance anything so high alcohol. I've drunk white and red wine fairly regularly since then!

I just had blood work done (have been exhausted a lot of the time, maybe due to covid stress?) And my liver function apparently looked fine

yumscrumfatbum · 28/03/2021 17:52

I can't drink more than two glasses of wine without it affecting my sleep and giving me a moderate hangover the next day. Three glasses and I'm vomiting and feeling rough all the next day. This started for me when I hit about 46 years old. These days I stick to a couple of lagers or G&T's. I really love wine but not enough to put up with feeling like crap!

jellybellybanana · 28/03/2021 17:52

That's psychosomatic. There is no reason at all why French wine would be any different to Italian wine or Spanish wine, as a grouping.

ChronicallyCurious · 28/03/2021 17:54

One of the worst hangovers I’ve ever had in my life was after three glasses of red wine. I was happily merry and then got into bed and puked everywhere. It kept up until the next evening, literally every half an hour I was throwing up everywhere. Red wine is the devil to me.

Also psychosomatic. There is no interaction between wine and air that can make you "dizzy and slurry"....if you were dizzy and slurry it was the quantity you drank, not prevously opened wine.

DIshedUp · 28/03/2021 17:59

Did you feel drunk last night OP?

DIshedUp · 28/03/2021 18:01

You are fairly underweight, and you didn't eat very much food, so that will make your alcohol tolerance lower. Your stomach will be more irritated if it doesn't have much in it making you sicker (actually fat is the best rather than carbs). Maybe you were dehydrated yesterday as well? But its still an extreme hangover.

DIshedUp · 28/03/2021 18:03

I think if a one of occasion you had a small amount of red wine, some people even saying half a glass, and spent the next day very very sick then its probably not the wine. Or you misjudged how much you actually drank

littleloopylou · 28/03/2021 18:03

@DIshedUp I didn't feel very drunk! But it had been a stressful day and I really wanted to wind down

WannabeOT · 28/03/2021 18:04

I wouldnt have an hangover at all from that

Nope. I drank the same as I would normally with no problems.

jellybellybanana · 28/03/2021 18:18

Then you had something else that effected it. There isn't anything about an opened bottle (which would have to have been recorked/capped anyway to be vaguely drinkable) that can do that. There is no physical mechanism.

SimonJT · 28/03/2021 18:24

I haven’t been sick from drinking for a long time, I drink quite a bit so it takes a lot for me to get a hangover.

My partner can’t handle his drink at all, a while ago he tried to keep up with me and I had to put him to bed. In the morning I found him completely naked on the bathroom floor and he had clearly been very unwell. He didn’t leave the bathroom floor until about 11am and he didn’t make it out of the bedroom until about 5pm 😂

HavelockVetinari · 28/03/2021 18:24

@TwoLeftSocksWithHoles

No, I'd probably drink that much red whilst waiting for the white to chill reasonably having popped it in the freezer for half an hour or so. Grin
