hard liquor, hard morning

[Paladin]

ever puke up blood the next morning after a really really heavy night of hitting the heavy stuff like 151/everclear?

done it twice this year and now i am starting to get worried, i have already made the decision to stay away from those particular two and all the other "harsh" ones and to take it very easy for the next 2-3 months to let my stomach heal (i believe it was my stomach lining)

just wondering if this has ever happened to anyone else and what the outcome was

sounds like an AA candidate to me if there ever was one.

So what's the update? It's somewhat alarming when a persons last post is regarding vomiting blood. I wonder what happened?

is there information on how much drinking we're talking about over what time frame? how much does tolerence matter, race, etc?

drinking liquor causes liver cirrhosis. liver cirrhosis causes esophageal varices. your liver is not working and the blood vessels around your esophagus, instead of returning blood to your heart via the liver get backed up and bleed into the esophagus. You vomit and cough up blood and think its coming from your stomach but its actually just backed up blood b/c your liver is damaged. After this comes a major episode of gastroesophageal hemorrhage and even if you are at the hospital getting transfusions cardiac arrest and death are likely. Your death certificate will list "gastroesophageal hemorrhage" as the immediate cause of death and the underlying cause of death will be filled in as "chronic liver failure". Go to the hospital and dont drink.

Curious - how much of the 151 / clear do you drink and why? Not knocking anyone but why drink something so damn strong and drink so much that you are puking up blood the next day? That may be the question you want to ask rather than asking if anyone has puked blood.

dunno, i was only drinking the 151 this most recent event i put down quite a few weaker shots too, the reason..mostly depression and was having a real shitty night, love sucks
